Germination takes 7-14 days. Mist gently to avoid washing seeds away. Thin or transplant seedlings to 15-20 cm spacing once they have a few true leaves. Plants begin flowering about 50-60 days after sowing and continue all summer; pinch tips to encourage branching.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow portulaca seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow from February to June for a long summer display, since the plant loves heat and full sun. In warmer plains it can also be sown after the monsoon for autumn colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan portulaca be grown in pots and hanging baskets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is excellent in containers. Use a shallow, free-draining pot or hanging basket in full sun and water lightly; the trailing succulent stems spill over the edges beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51051424317686,"sku":"SED-FLW-PORTULACA-001","price":29.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-portulaca-double-mixed-color-desi-flower-seeds-16969221931148.jpg?v=1782713672","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/portulaca-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
