Portulaca
Lazy Daze is a new trailing portulaca available in five colors. A highly versatile plant, Lazy Daze can be sold in pots, packs, flats or mixed combinations. This series is early to flower and has a much denser, mat-forming habit.
Use a well-drained, peat-based growing mix with a pH of 5.5 to 6.0 and EC less than 1.5. Do not irrigate heavily immediately after transplant; water sparingly until roots reach the sides of the container.
Temperatures for rooting out after transplant should be 70 to 72° F. Temperature for growing on can be lowered to 68 to 70° F but no lower as this will affect crop time. Light levels should be maintained at 3,000 to 5,000 foot-candles or higher as long as the temperature can be controlled.
Practice a good wet/dry moisture cycle but avoid too wet. Portulaca can tolerate mild wilting after roots reach the sides of the container.
Feed one to two times per week with 150- to 200-ppm nitrogen from 15-5-15, 17-5-17 or 13-2-13.
