CARE GUIDE

How to keep Kali Soda.

Light

Prickly saltwort comes from bright, open habitats and performs best in full sun. It can handle partial shade but prefers direct sunlight for the healthiest growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is well known for its sun-loving habit.

Temperature

Prickly saltwort can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, though its distribution may still be restricted by different mixes of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with enough rainfall or watering. Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather or extended high temperatures can make Prickly saltwort more likely to die. In winter, appropriate protection from cold can raise the plant’s survival rate.

Fertilizer

Prickly saltwort benefits from regular, light applications of fertilizer to encourage healthy leaf development. Fertilize prickly saltwort about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and supplying nitrogen-rich sources helps prickly saltwort thrive.
