## Overview

The CHAYA PLANT (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius), also known as Mayan Tree Spinach, is an organically grown, deeply lobed leafy green that thrives in containers and partial sun. It blooms white flowers that attract butterflies and is best harvested by cooking its nutrient-dense leaves. Ideal for winter growing in zones like 8a, this plant offers a sustainable, year-round fresh green option for health-focused urban gardeners.

## Description

Will bloom white flowers quickly as a short, young plant and will attract butterflies. Cook as you would chard or spinach. Its leaves should be cooked rather than ingested raw. Beautiful Deep green foliage Can be grown as container plant during winter months. However, I live in zone 8a and while the plant dies to the ground, it has come back each year when planted in the ground.

Review: Growing Chaya in Colorado (greenhouse) - I am growing this cutting in my forest garden greenhouse in Colorado. It got off to a slow start in a pot over several months, yet is now five feet tall. I harvest a few leaves each week, carefully cook them, and enjoy its Mayan nutritional magic. Indeed, follow the advice: if you get a cutting, remove all of the leaves and let it re-grow them when it's ready. The old leaves will just be a drain on its vitality until it can grow some roots.
Review: It looks pretty sad - I'm hoping it grows the part where there is no leaves is hollow pretty much halfway through took too many days to get here once the carrier got it I think is the problem

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Growing strong
*by L***A on May 5, 2024*

This little plant came with a heart to survive. I have her on the east side of my patio and she has grown several leaves and continues to thrive. I put some seashells on the top of her dirt just to help her feel at home since she lives native close to the ocean
