This makes me grin
to know my purslane rep is far and wide.
If I could have only one plant it would be purslane. That is how much I love it!
I must be honest: I did not do anything but water the area where the purslane was in the summer/fall months here in Phoenix. It was in the ground.
As I watered other plants, the ground was always wet. In our mild winters, I would water once a week. Not all of it came back of course but with purslane, all ytou need is a little. IT CAN BE A TAKEOVER PLANT
which I allowed it to be. But when kept in baskets, it won't go crazy. It's hard to sut it back when it starts to get leggy but I made myself do it and plant those cuttings in the ground.
I'm so happy you love it so much!
