Neokochia

Neokochia is a genus of flowering plants adapted to arid environments, typically found in sandy or rocky soils where moisture is scarce. These plants boast a compact, bushy form with small, scale-like leaves that help reduce water loss. The stems are often reddish, providing a distinct contrast to the gray-green foliage. This adaptation not only aids in water conservation but also reflects neokochia's resilience in harsh climates.

Propagation: Propagation of neokochia typically involves seed sowing or cuttings. Essential factors include optimal temperatures and well-draining soil. Scarification can improve germination. The process is moderately difficult, requiring careful moisture management to prevent overwatering. Seeds should be sown shallowly, or cuttings taken in humid, indirect light.
