 67/ Chaya, Cnidoscolus aconitifolius

For the amount of space it takes up and so little produce, I don’t really recommend growing it in a temperate climate to bring indoors in winter. No major pest issues, ok in high winds. Only water if it gets dry which isn’t very often. Leaves must be cooked so if you’re a busy person, you can’t just use it to throw it into salads. It clones very easily, just stick twig in dirt. Keep from freezing temps. Full to part sun.
