How to Care for the Plant

Water
You do not need to water often for proper portulaca care. The cylindrical foliage of the portulaca flower retains moisture very well, thus, regular watering is not needed. When they are watered, just a light watering will do, as their root zone is very shallow.
Sunlight
love the full sunlight
Soil
Portulaca flowers tolerate many kinds of soil but prefer sandy, well-drained soil
