Hi,
I have searched the internet high and low and just can't seem to find anything to answer my question on this flower plant. Hoping someone can help me. I potted several beautiful portulaca plants here in south florida, they have been doing great for 1 year now, only lost one. I deadheaded the dried flowers and kept them cleaned up so they were constantly flowering. Now many of the stems have white fuzzy ends which appear to be there seeding process but I cannot find any info on what to do next and how to get these stems back to flowering again, I have been waiting to see what happens until I found instructions. I have attached a few pics that might help, normally, these pots would be filled with pink flowers hanging over the sides.

I did open some of the ends and dropped some of the seeds that has now sprouted as well, so soil and water appear to be fine. We get more sun in the winter and of course very humid summers. Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated, I am very new at gardening but I learn quickly. These are part of our condo walkway and really add a beautiful accent to our outdoor space so I hope there is something I can do to help get them back to full flowering mode.

thanks so much,
Karen
