Collection: Portulaca Plants

Love to wake up to a garden full of pretty and colorful flowers? Well, then Portulaca plants are what you need. They have rose-like appearance with double, single, or even semi-double petals. This feature makes them a perfect reason to bring a smile to your face every morning.

Belonging to the Portulacaceae family, these Portulaca plants have over 100 species. They are usually found in warm and tropical regions. They are formed at the tip of the stem. They bloom in the summer till the half of the autumn season and bear cup-shaped flowers.

Their leaves are succulent. These flowers open and close at specific times of the day because of which they are also referred to as ÄúTime flowers.

As per their maintenance is concerned, Portulaca plants are best suited to be grown in containers or pots. They have succulent and fleshy leaves. Their colorful (red, yellow, pink, orange, white, purple) petals, and red stems make them look like a view to behold.

Since the leaves are succulent, they ideally need a very desert-like environment. They can easily survive an environment which is highly dry. These plants can even survive a drought. You need to regularly water the plant.

Check by pushing your finger in the soil when the soil feels dry. Prefer to water them in the morning hours. You might need to re-pot them in case the Portulaca plant grows past the size of the container.

They should be fertilized during the spring season. You can use Neem, Eucalyptus, or Citrus oil spray to prevent diseases or insect attacks on your Portulaca plant.
