Claytonia sibirica aka Pink Purslane

Pink Purslane requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

Pink Purslane should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Pink Purslane loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Ploi does not possess verified information regarding the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event that you, a member of your family, or a pet ingests plant material with an unclear toxicity level, it is highly recommended to seek the advice of a medical professional.

The Pink Purslane should be transferred to a new pot once it has increased in size two-fold, or on an annual basis, whichever occurs earlier. Replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the necessary nutrients, is sufficient enough to support the growth of the plant, thus avoiding the need to use fertilizer. It's important to note that plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Pink Purslane’s native range is E. Asia - Siberia. Western N. America - Alaska to California. Naturalized in Britain.
