Cultivation methods and precautions of Rainbow Purslane

1. Soil: The soil prepared for rainbow purslane needs to have good drainage. When preparing the soil, you can add an appropriate amount of coarse sand, and the main part can be garden soil.

2. Watering: It is a very drought-resistant plant, but it is also afraid of waterlogging. It is okay to water it less during normal times, but be sure not to allow water to accumulate. Generally, watering once every 4-5 days is sufficient.

3. Light: Give it sufficient light during its growth period. Lack of light will cause it to grow too tall and its color will become dull. It should be noted that when the sunlight is strong at noon in summer, shade is needed to avoid overexposure to the plants.

1. Anthracnose: This is one of the more common diseases of rainbow purslane. In the early stage of the disease, it is necessary to spray it with 800 times diluted 75% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder in time.

2. Scale insects: This is a very common plant pest, which can cause great damage to plants. When discovered in the early stages, you should spray them with pesticides in time until they are completely cured.
