Facts About Purslane

[@Usiris23]

I have a shit load covering my backyard. Last year I tried to eradicate them but that was a losing battle, which I’m glad I lost cause I found out pollinators love em and they’re native to Florida. Gotta do anything to help the bees!

[@videorocketzmillar007milla5]

Just got one today from Lowes. Put it in a big pot, lossen the roots, gave fish emulsion and in one hour its grow 2 inches!!!! ❤❤❤❤ subscribed😂😂😂😂😂

In Nevada this grows as a weed everywhere everyone hates it. Only me and my philipino neighbor made food with it!

[@ezclean7022]

Yes they are a super food

[@anniegooden5084]

I live in Northwest Montana. This takes over my garden every year. It cannot be eradicated!! I hate it.

I love these. I have them on my balcony I think they are absolutely beautiful.

[@tinamarie0701]

Thanks. I had no idea about this plant. Just bought 8 of them cuz they were pretty

[@hpdpco6634]

Best flower ever!!! So easy to take care yet flowers beautifully.

[@tinamarie0701]

@@hpdpco6634 yeah they are flowering everyday. Love them!

[@ezclean7022]

Well... They also are a super food... Stem leaf and flowers are all edible and make a delicious addition to salads 😋

[@adan3415]

Very nice video. Keep it up.

[@Doris-y5v]

it looks so beautiful next to the water

[@blippitydar]

I'm having a trouble finding nutritional info specific to the ornamental varieties of Portulaca oleracea - I see plenty written on the nutritional content of wild purslane (the weed), Golden Purslane and Green Purslane, but not much info on the ornamentals. Are they all equally edible and equally nutritious?

[@boxcutter0]

It’s an important question that should be answered by someone.

[@gracehc9356]

Really informative thank you!

[@129jaystreet]

I purchased one of these for the beautiful fuschia colored. Towards the end of the season it died. I was just about to throw it away when I saw a new growth. It's been growing slowly but healthy in my Southern window.

[@mountainman4859]

Apparently this plant is one of the most nutritional ‘vegetables’ on earth. Full of Vitamin K and Omega 3 fatty acids.

[@EarthWorksJax]

Yes sir!

[@Lee-en9ii]

Thank you because I was searching for this comment! I discovered this a year ago, where I’m from in Barbados, most people use them as ornamental flowers 😆

[@donkihoto333]

bravo and thank you , very good and detailed instruction, can you say a few words about the soil mixture for PURSLANE !

[@mereplants3449]

Beautiful

Love your Channel!

Thank you Cheryl!

[@lalmawizualihauhnar3862]

Are all varieties of Purslane edible?? Or only that bears yellow flower is edible??

[@hgchannel9108]

Nice

[@Zabardageegan]

Is this the edible kind.

[@Ftybr57]

Are these edible?

[@EarthWorksJax]

Yes and considered a vegetable high in Omega -3 fatty acid.

[@nomparfait]

Can U eat them like u can wild purslane??

[@EarthWorksJax]

Yes

[@saundrac9]

I have mine in planters, should i trim them?

[@Zabardageegan]

What is the best fertilizer for this delicious plant.

[@EarthWorksJax]

I recommend using a blossom booster fertilizer. That would be a formula with high phosphorus, which is the middle number in the ratio of three.

[@edelvais1990]

Hi, is this kind of Purslane plant edible or only decorative?

[@silviamaria1000]

Im in Houston . Weather here is very hot right now . I have them in a basket under a shaded area and they are not doing well . I think I’ve been watering them too much ( every two days ).

[@EarthWorksJax]

Hey Silvia, same issues here. Too much water and not enough sun aren't optimum conditions. While we think it nice to have a drought tolerant hanging basket if they can't get enough sun and are then water logged we are setting up conditions for failure.

[@silviamaria1000]

@@EarthWorksJax so you suggest I move it to where it gets more sun ?

[@videorocketzmillar007milla5]

Just let it dry out between watering.

[@suzanneszarai]

Do I need to bring it inside for the winter?

[@EarthWorksJax]

Yes.

Where we can buy seeds

[@yuegonghuamei6685]

Can we eat these color purslane or just wild one only?

[@EarthWorksJax]

Yes all purslane is edible.

[@LeelaManoharChinni]

All varieties are edible or only the yellow variety? Because in most edible purslane videos I found all are yellow and the leaves are green. I have orange variety with red edged green leaves, is it edible?

[@EarthWorksJax]

All are edible including flowers, leaves, and stems.

[@ziggysmom5646]

Thank you! I just bought 2 of the tangerine color plants but they close up around 5. I cannot understand why cause they get 8 full hours of sun.

[@EarthWorksJax]

Closing at night is normal. The hotter the days the longer the flowers will be open, which helps the plant reduce internal temperature.

[@ziggysmom5646]

@@EarthWorksJax I live in Florida

[@EarthWorksJax]

We have to also figure in available light energy that varies with day length between the Winter & Summer Solstice as with the reduced energy collection of solar panels on overcast and rainy days. The actual amount of light and heat they receive, which varies daily will impact how long the purslane bloom is open. Of course, other environmental conditions and plant nutrition are factors to consider.

[@sappir26]

Yes. This is normal. The flowers close up at night and open again in the morning.

[@amyhoang9140]

I think they are beautiful but they will die when it snows. Do they have seeds?

[@baneverything5580]

Yes. You can buy Purslane seeds. I ordered some and just planted them in my garden and around fruit trees in various places before the rain hits tomorrow and Friday.

I'm in zone 7b. Can I leave my purslane outdoors over the winter?

[@ezclean7022]

No

[@Romyislief]

Wait these are weeds? We buy them as flowers here😅 I had a huge one last year, lots of different shades in the flowers, It sadly died in the winter

[@EarthWorksJax]

yes they are cold sensitive, thus an annual here in the Jacksonville area

Are they edible

Yes they are
