Soil may need to be amended with compost or grit before planting to improve its drainage. If you have a clay soil, then growing these plants in containers would be preferable.
Drought and heat tolerant. Water lightly only when the top of the soil is dry. Do not allow the soil to become soggy as these plants will rot. Deadheading will encourage further flowering.
It is possible to propagate Portulaca by seed.
