Description: Please read the entire description before you buy. Contact me before you place the order, I can trim the top of the plant to make the S&H more accessible. Pot is not included. Plants are packed in seedling bags with organic soil. Por international shipping, some countries do not allow soil, and plants are packed in perlite, and chaya bark to maintain humidity. My Chaya is a chayamansa variety, whose leaves are similar to the grape leaves. This variety is great for food as it grows big leaves. Organically Grown Live Chaya Chaya plants are known as "Miracle Spinach Tree." The item is one plant. In the photos, I have two or three plants for pot. The price is for one plant. The photos shown in the ad are for promotional use and some were sold. The new plants vary in size and foliage. All plants have big and baby leaves growing, some have bigger leaves, and some are sprouting out. By this time of the year July, the plant's foliage is tick and super green and branches are flowering. By spring and Summer, most of the plants have flowers. Usually, the shorter trunks from mature branches are with baby leaves. The leaves will spring out in the next 4 weeks, if you keep the plant in semi-shade until the leaves grow bigger and the plant is more robust can be brought to full sun. The Chaya's leaves are considered a Superfood. Dimensions vary: 14 to 16 in The shorter plants have ticker trunks. All plants have mature stems, some are flowering. Shipping fees vary according to the weight and dimensions of plants. Before you buy send a message and choose the smallest or biggest plant. Due to delays in the USPS, I have as the first option "Priority MAIL," which guarantees between 3 to five days of shipping, and money back from the post service. Second choice is USPS First Class Package or, parcel ground. The price difference is between two to three dollars according to the shipping zone. Plants are shipped from the 92707 area code. According to the National Institute of Nutrition in Mexico City, ingesting chaya will: Improve blood circulation, help digestion, improve vision, disinflame veins and hemorrhoids, help lower cholesterol, help reduce weight, prevent coughs, augment calcium in the bones, decongest and disinfect the lungs, prevent anemia by replacing iron in the blood, improve memory and brain function and Combat arthritis and diabetes. Nutritional analysis shows thatChayais rich on iron than spinach and a powerful source of potassium and calcium. It's also incredibly easy to grow and an attractive addition to the garden with its maple-like leaves and tidy growth pattern. It limits itself to about six feet in height. If you plant it with full sun, it will grow into a very large tall tree. But its leaves will grow small. Kind of like a "mother tree" to reproduce the species. Plant a row close together and you'll soon have a hedge. The plants tend to be open toward the bottom, so you can create a border with low- and medium-growing herbs. To grow your own, stake branches of about 40 centimeters in sandy soil with good drainage, and water regularly. It grows well in a median annual temperature of 25 C. or higher and at altitudes of 0 to 1000 meters above sea level. In some states, it is calledchaya colorchaya mansa.The botanical name isCnidoscolus chayamansa. Start harvesting as soon as you see a couple of new leaves sprouted. Cutting encourages new growth, and the branches are pretty in flower arrangements. The leaves are pretty bland, so you can add them to soups, casseroles, spaghetti sauces, salsas, and salads without affecting the taste. The tiny, tender ones can go in omelets or salads or be used as garnish. The larger ones are best chopped and cooked long and slow. I've tried cooking them quickly, like spinach, and have not been happy with the leathery results. For a liter of tea, use 3-5 medium-sized leaves with whatever blend you favor. I like two bags of black tea with two bags of mint and thechayaleaves, "cooked" in a glass bottle in the sun for a couple of hours and then refrigerated. Soak the leaves in water with a disinfectant such as Microdyn, before using, as you do fruits and vegetables. Warning:In cooking or serving,Do not use aluminum containers, as a toxic reaction can result, causing diarrhea. Use pottery or glass.
