From Seed

• 1). Fill a container to within 2 inches of its rim with light, rich potting soil such as a well-draining loam.
  
  
• 2). Scatter purslane seeds over the soil, leaving 1 inch between seeds, then cover seeds with 1 inch of soil. Water the soil to moisten. Keep the soil wet until the seeds germinate.
  
  
• 3). Thin the seedlings, leaving 7 inches of space between each. Purslane spreads, so this ensures each plant had adequate room to develop.
  
  
• 4). Place your pots in a sunny location.
  
  
• 5). Water your purslane when the soil feel dry to the touch or the purslane leaves seem droopy.
  
  

From a Rooted Cutting

• 1). Fill your pot halfway with light, rich potting soil.
  
  
• 2). Place the purslane cutting into your pot so it sits at the same level in the soil as it did in its container. Spread the roots out with your fingers.
  
  
• 3). Top off the potting soil to within 1 inch of the rim. Water to saturate the soil.
