Start with high-quality Portulaca Coconut seeds. They are available at gardening stores as well as on the internet. Plant new seeds to try for more successful germination.

Portulaca Coconut will perform well in sandy soil that has a good drainage system. Spade the soil and clear the weeds prior to seeding the seeds. In case you have unknowingly irrigated the soil, replace it with the addition of perlite or sand for the sake of better drainage. Portulaca orange can be a good companion

Now, having sterilized the soil, plant the seeds on the surface and level it out evenly. Plant them not, since they require light to germinate. Press them into the ground and water spray afterward.

Portulaca Coconut is a sunflower. Choose a spot where it receives no less than six hours of direct sunlight per day. Water minimally to maintain soil moisture but not wetness. Lower watering when seedlings are visible to prevent roots from rotting.

Germination and Growth

Seeds will germinate in one or two weeks. Sow them out when they are a few leaves old and plant them six inches apart. This will enable them to grow and flower without any trouble.

Care of the Plants

Water the seedlings lightly when planting. Portulaca Coconut is drought-tolerant and excessive water will rot the roots. Fertilize with small amounts every month to encourage growth.

Flowering and Care

Your Portulaca Coconut will start flowering after six to eight weeks of quality care. While sunlight occurs during morning hours, the flowers are beautiful, while when sunlight dips in the evening hours, flowers wilt. Removing wilted flowers through deadheading cuts off to encourage flowering even more.

Maximum from Your Portulaca Enjoyably

As it matures, your Portulaca Coconut will make your garden even more vibrant to look at and feel. It’s also a butterfly resting area and pollinator station. With minimal effort, you can experience these gorgeous flowers at their best.

Now that you know, you can have your own Portulaca grown from seeds!
