1、 Growth habit

Before we know the water skills, we must thoroughly understand the environment that this kind of flower likes! Their adaptability is very strong, both heat and cold. They can grow in places with strong or weak light, but they will grow better if the climate is warmer, the air is wetter and the soil is more fertile. Purslane has strong water storage capacity, so it is not afraid of drought or waterlogging

2、 Watering method

1. When purslane grows vigorously, it is sensitive to water. At this time, the basin soil should not be too wet, otherwise its stems and leaves will grow in vain and become soft, and the flowers will be very sparse. But if it is too dry, the stems and leaves will shrink, the stem nodes will shorten, and the flowers will become less and smaller. Therefore, watering must be timely at this time to keep the basin soil moist to a certain extent

2. In spring and autumn, you can choose to water once or twice a week, but if the temperature is relatively high, you also need a lot of water

3. In summer, it needs to be watered two or three times a week, especially from June to August. It needs to be watered once every two days. Pay attention to that the soil needs to be wet, but it can't be watered too much. Otherwise, its roots will rot and even the whole plant will die. In addition, the time of watering in summer should be after the sun sets, otherwise the flowers will close after watering

4. In winter, it should be placed indoors and in a place with good sunlight. The number of watering also needs to be greatly reduced. Generally, watering once every 15 days is OK, and the amount of water is much less than that in summer. The time should be at noon on a sunny day
