Pallenis

Pallenis are small flowering plants that grow within deserts and along coastlines. The genus name 'Pallenis' is derived from the Latin word for "chaff," as the flowers within this genus resemble a chaff (the covering of grains). They have small, white, silken hairs on the plant stems. Their yellow-colored flowers bloom during the spring and summer as biennials, annuals, and perennials on disturbed land. Some members of pallenis are used to make essential oils.

Water: Thriving in sunny, dry regions, pallenis is drought-tolerant, storing moisture and requiring weekly watering. For indoor growth, it needs bright light and well-draining soil to prevent root rot, ensuring proper hydration without waterlogging.

Propagation: Propagation of pallenis can be achieved through seed sowing or cuttings. Key requirements include full sun, well-draining soil, and moderate temperatures. Using rooting hormone can improve cuttings' success. Maintain moisture without overwatering, and ensure at least 6 hours of sunlight for optimal growth.
