- Soil temperature: Optimal germination occurs at soil temperatures around 21-26°C
- Germination period: Expect seedlings to emerge within 10-14 days.
Planting & Growing

- Spacing: Space plants 6-12 inches apart.
- Drought-tolerant: These beauties can handle dry spells once established.
Caring for Portulaca
- Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering.
