Gorgeous drought tolerant beautiful blossoms that are super easy to grow from seed either by directly planting in your garden or getting a headstart indoors. Portulacas are often called the "Moss Rose" for their resemblance to the rose.

How to Sow and Plant:

Portulaca may be grown from seed sown early indoors and transplanted outside after frost, or sown directly in the garden after frost.

Sowing Seed Indoors:

- Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost in spring using a seed starting kit
- Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed starting formula
- Keep the soil moist at 70-75 degrees F
- Seedlings emerge in 10-14 days
- As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow taller. Incandescent bulbs will not work for this process because they will get too hot. Most plants require a dark period to grow, do not leave lights on for 24 hours.
- Thin to one seedling per cell when they have two sets of leaves.
- Seedlings do not need much fertilizer, feed when they are 3-4 weeks old using a starter solution (half strength of a complete indoor houseplant food) according to manufacturer’s directions.
- Before planting in the garden, seedling plants need to be “hardened off”. Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered place outside for a week. Be sure to protect them from wind and hot sun at first. If frost threatens at night, cover or bring containers indoors, then take them out again in the morning. This hardening off process toughens the plant’s cell structure and reduces transplant shock and scalding.

Sowing Directly in the Garden:

- Direct sow seeds in average soil in full sun after all danger of frost.
- Choose a location in full sun with very well-drained soil.
- Prepare the soil by removing weeds and working organic matter into the top 6-8 inches of soil; then level and smooth.
- Most plants respond well to soils amended with organic matter. Compost is a wonderful form of organic matter with a good balance of nutrients and an ideal pH level, it can be added to your planting area at any time. If compost is not available, top dress the soil after planting with 1-2 inches of organic mulch, which will begin to breakdown into compost. After the growing season, a soil test will indicate what soil amendments are needed for the following season.
- Sow seeds thinly and evenly and cover with 1/8 inch of fine soil.
- Firm soil lightly with your hand, water and keep evenly moist.
- Seedlings will emerge in 10-14 days.
- Portulaca may be grown closely together and usually does not need to be thinned.

How to Grow:

- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
- Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For annuals an organic mulch of shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant’s stems to prevent possible rot.
- Portulaca is drought tolerant, but plants need about 1 inch of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.
- Until plants become established, some protection from extreme winds and direct, hot sunlight may be necessary. Good air movement is also important.
- After new growth appears, a light fertilizer may be applied. Keep granular fertilizers away from the plant crown and foliage to avoid burn injury. Use low rates of a slow release fertilizer such as Flower-tone, as higher rates may encourage root rots.
- Remove spent flower heads to keep plants flowering until fall.
- Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.
- Remove plants after they are killed by frost in fall to avoid disease issues the following year.

Growing Tips:

- Portulaca is ideal for containers. Take care not to overcrowd them or the flowers may be significantly smaller than they should be and the plants may be taller. Always use a commercial potting mix, do not use garden soil, and make sure the containers have adequate drainage. - Container grown plants will require extra water and fertilizer, look for signs of wilt or a nutrient deficiency.
- Portulaca is perfect for rock gardens and for beds and borders in drought-prone areas. It grows nicely between paving stones.
- The plants have a spreading habit, so they cascade gracefully from hanging baskets and window boxes.
- They also make a great annual groundcover.
- Portulaca often will self-sow. If you want it to do so, allow some seed to ripen on the plant at the end of the season.

Gives a nice lift.
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Pleasant blueberry taste. As some other reviews have noted, it’s not the strongest Methylene Blue, but it does give me a gentle energylift in about 15 minutes.

Has a slight citrus flavor
I like this product. It does not thicken as most fiber powders do in a glass of water. I put mine in a water bottle that I drink from throughout the day and it stays fluid. The main point of this product is to keep you satiated after a meal and it does that for me. Right now, I would normally be eating something like a snack (which I would overindulge) and I don't even feel like it. This will take some time to get used to again as it has taken me some time to find a product like this after switching from an Amazon-suggested product that also worked until I got two bottles of it that smelled like burnt plastic and tasted nothing like an edible product. So, needless to say, I'm glad to have found this product. In plain water and it will taste slightly citrusy. I actually accidentally drank my water before the powder fully dissolved and just ate the powder because the taste did not offend my pallet at all. So far, I have put this into my plain black coffee and water (sometimes with some juice, lime, or even lemon for flavor, but most of the time just plain water) and they taste absolutely fine. This is not a paid review, I'm just glad to find one that didn't thicken or surprise my taste buds because I have been researching for months.

Gentle, Effective, and Easy to Use, A Great Daily Fiber Boost
I’ve been incorporating Benefiber Healthy Shape Prebiotic Fiber Supplement into my daily routine for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s been a very positive experience. The product mixes easily into water, smoothies, or even coffee, without leaving behind any gritty texture or noticeable flavor, something I really appreciate. It makes it simple to get my daily fiber intake without changing my meals or dealing with unpleasant textures. In terms of performance, it’s been gentle on my stomach and has helped regulate digestion gradually, which is ideal if you're looking for something non-irritating and safe for daily use. I also noticed feeling slightly fuller between meals, which helps with appetite control, though I wouldn't call it a magic solution for weight loss. The prebiotic aspect is also a plus, since it helps support gut health in a natural way. The container is compact, easy to store, and the scoop makes dosing simple. Pros: Mixes well in drinks without taste or texture Gentle and non-irritating Helps with digestive regularity Prebiotic benefits for gut health May reduce appetite slightly Cons: Results are gradual, not instant Doesn’t completely curb hunger Slightly more expensive than similar options Benefiber Healthy Shape is a reliable daily fiber supplement that delivers on what it promises: a gentle boost to digestive health and satiety. While it’s not a weight-loss product, it helps you stay regular and feel fuller.
