Portulaca Sundial mix pack of 40-50 seeds imported

Portulaca Sundial Steps:

1. Portulaca Sundial Selecting Seeds:
   • Choose portulaca seeds from a reputable source. Portulaca varieties come in various colors, so select the ones that appeal to you.
2. Portulaca Sundial Seed Starting Mix:
   • Fill seed trays or small pots with a well-draining potting mix. Portulaca prefers soil that is sandy or gritty to aid drainage.
3. Planting Seeds:
   • Sow portulaca seeds on the surface of the soil. Press them gently into the soil but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.
4. Covering Seeds:
   • Cover the seed trays or pots with plastic wrap or a humidity dome to create a warm and humid environment for germination. This helps retain moisture and encourages seed germination.
5. Germination:
   • Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location. Portulaca seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days. Once germination occurs, remove the plastic cover.
6. Lighting:
   • Move the seedlings to a location with bright light. If using artificial light, provide 12-16 hours of light per day. If using natural light, place them in a sunny windowsill.
7. Watering:
   • Portulaca is drought-tolerant, but water the seedlings when the soil surface feels dry. Water the soil, not the foliage, to prevent fungal issues. Use a watering can or spray bottle.
8. Transplanting:
   • When the portulaca seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden. Space them according to the recommended distance for the specific portulaca variety.
9. Outdoor Transplanting:
   • Transplant the portulaca outdoors after the last frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
10. Caring for Outdoor Plants:
    • Water the plants sparingly once they are established, as portulaca is drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Fertilizing is generally not required for portulaca.
11. Blooming Period:
    • Portulaca produces colorful, cup-shaped flowers throughout the summer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
12. Propagation:
    • Portulaca is an annual, but it self-seeds readily. Allow some flowers to go to seed, and you may find new seedlings appearing in the following season.
