How often should I water my portulaca?
With shallow roots and moisture-retaining leaves, portulaca is exceptionally drought-tolerant and only requires watering when the top layer of soil has dried out. The plants will grow and bloom more vigorously when they receive about an inch of water per week. Portulaca is easy to grow from either seed or seedlings. It can also be propagated from stem cuttings.
Can you bring portulaca indoors for winter?
You can cut the plant back by 1/3 before bringing it indoors. Place the plant in the sunniest window in the house, and reduce watering so the soil dries out a bit. Portulaca does not always overwinter successfully indoors, so you may want to try taking cuttings as a backup plan.
