She loves, also called Mielnik or Summer Cyprysik, comes from Southern Asia and Southeast Europe. This annual plant reaches from 30 to even 100 cm in height, and its characteristic feature is a thick, spherical-stable habit and a delicate, long, threaded leaves resembling needles with a juicy green color. In autumn, however, they change the color to red.
This is what cut and the leaves are the greatest decoration of this specimen. The indoor parts include flowers collected in slightly hairy ears, which appear on the plant in the summer – from June to September. However, they also have their function, because they form small, brown fruits resembling angular nuts. When they ripen, they can be collected and used to reproduce the Mietelnik.

As already mentioned, Kochia does not have too much care requirements. Without a doubt, it is an extremely easy to grow. So how do you take care of her?
This specimen prefers a sunny position and a permeable, slightly moist substrate with an alkaline reaction. It is good if he had access to nutrients – then it will be better to die in autumn.

The treatment to be provided to this plant is regular pruning. Loves growing very quickly, so it’s worth tame her habit.
