gec1314- My rock purslane was started by cuttings and I let them dry out for about 2-3 days as perscribed then I just stuck them into the ground and pots and both are doing fine I now have a purple hase look all over the place. Not sure of what type of purslane you were mentioning though but here's my 2 cents anyway for free. Have a great day too 1314 over and out.
