You apparently have some experience; that one looks super happy. I keep purslane when I find it in the yard, but I've never done much intentional with it. What kind of conditions does yours like?

I love purslane! I keep pruning mine when it gets even a little long and just stuff in in dirt and part sun or shaded full sun and they thrive outside here in GA
