This listing features our rare and beautiful rooted Portulaca molokiniensis or also known as 'ihi succulent'. It is an upright growing succulent that grows basal branches to form a small shrub up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall. The stems are round and corky, bearing round grey-green succulent leaves that are arranged neatly in 4 distinct rows towards the branch tips.

Portulaca molokiniensis produces clusters of tiny lemon yellow cup-shaped flowers at the ends of leafless stems that rise above the foliage.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Is it seed grown or a rooted cutting?

Hello, Our plants are fully established.

Thank you,

Hell, Are these seed grown or propagated from cuttings? I am wondering how likely is it to grow the thick woody base I have seen on some specimens?

Hi Henry,
Thank you for asking. You can propagate Portulaca from cutting and seed but it is easier to grow it from cutting.

why are the bottom leaves turning light green or gray and then falling off. I am seeing some new growth in different parts of the plant, but I am not sure why I am losing the bottom. Is this supposed to happen? If not please help me fix it. Thanks.

SucculentsBox.Com 03/11/2019

The bottom leaves are older, so it's normal and natural that they start to dry out so the plant can focus its energy to grow new ones. Succulents grow very slowly, so this process can take up to a month until those leaves completely dry out and fall off. If you don't like the wrinkle look of them, you can simply pull them off now and that should do no harm to the plant :)
