I found some purslane plants at the nursery this week. Other than large hanging baskets, they mostly had the round small pots that were in those plastic pot holders that have the round plants right up against each other. Many of the branches were long and the plant branches had all gotten tangled up with the other plants. I was trying to get a couple of plants out and had a lot of difficulty avoiding breaking the branches. Finally I got two out, breaking as few branches as possible, then found a single 4" pot of purslane. Later, as I was checking out, the cashier carelessly grabbed the round purslane pots out of the cardboard box of plants...breaking several more purslane branches! I was NOT a happy camper! Nevertheless, I took them home and later stuck the branches into pots, hoping they'd root. Ah well, the two plants will recover!
