Planting Method of Purslane牡丹
The editor will explain the introduction of the herbaceous flower Purslane牡丹, the planting method of Purslane牡丹, please see the detailed introduction below.
In fact, there's not much to write about the planting method of Purslane牡丹, because this plant is very tough, and it can easily grow into a pot. However, to provide more energy for flower enthusiasts, we will say more about some knowledge related to Purslane牡丹.
Purslane牡丹 is one of the commonly known sunflowers. The reason for saying "one" (there is a special introduction at the bottom of the article) is because there is another type with flat leaves, Portulaca oleracea, which many flower enthusiasts also habitually call sunflower.
No need for beating around the bush, let's first talk about the planting method of Purslane牡丹, starting with a personal experience of the editor.
This summer, the editor wanted to plant some Purslane牡丹, but didn't think it necessary to buy them, so whenever I saw Purslane牡丹 in parks or green belts, I pinched a stem of different colors (pinched four varieties, totaling four stems).
Seeing this, many flower enthusiasts might say that this behavior is not worth promoting. The editor reflected on this, mainly because Purslane牡丹 grows branches quickly, and after the flowering period, those in the green belt would be discarded, which is a pity.
After arriving home, I casually mixed some soil, inserted the four stems into the soil (the stems were quite soft, so I first poked a hole with a stick and then put the stems in), watered them generously, and placed them in a shady place for two days. After that, they were maintained normally, and they eventually flourished.
The reason for telling this little story is to tell flower enthusiasts that Purslane牡丹 is easy to grow; as long as it gets sunlight, it will bloom continuously. If you want to grow it better, you can give some flowering fertilizer appropriately, and pay attention to watering regularly without letting it get too dry.
Purslane牡丹 almost has nothing worth noting, after all, it has been considered a sunflower, "impossible to die," and can be kept outside in summer. With some shade, it can live comfortably. The only drawback is that it is afraid of the cold, and if the temperature drops below 5°C in winter, it can be moved indoors.
One important aspect of growing sunflowers is pinching the top. When they grow to about 3 to 4 centimeters tall, branches start to grow from the root. At this time, remove the top of the main stem, and soon a cluster of branches will sprout at the cut. When the branches at the root grow to a certain length, you can also pinch the top of the branches. After such treatment, the sunflower is dwarfed and the plant shape becomes more attractive.
Propagation can be done through cutting, and usually, there will also be seeds after flowering, which are easy to grow.
