Sowing should be done in spring, sowing in well-drained and light soil, pressing the seeds lightly into the soil without covering them completely.  Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, and the seeds should germinate within 1-2 weeks.<br \/> You can also multiply adult plants with the <u>cutting technique<\/u>.  Cut off a healthy segment of the mother plant, usually about 5-10cm in length, and remove the first basal leaflets.  Let the cuttings dry for a couple of days to allow a scar to form on the base.  Subsequently, plant the cuttings in small pots in peaty soil, keeping the substrate just moist.  Roots should develop within a few weeks.<br \/> If you&#8217;ve got one <em>Portulaca grandiflora<\/em> mature with dense vegetation and which perhaps needs repotting, you can divide it to obtain new plants.  Dig carefully around the plant or pull it out of the pot, gently separating the clumps.  Make sure each division has enough roots and some foliage.
