Kali (Kali)
Kali (Kali) are well-known for growing along roadsides and disturbed places such as railways and abandoned fields. Despite being considered a weed by many, they work well in landscaping to form shrubs or hedges. Plants of this genus are invasive in North America. At one point, it was used as experimental cattle food, to be grown in times of drought. Cattle, pronghorn, and small rodents will eat it, if nothing better is available.

How to Grow and Care for Kali
Feedback
Kali is a sunlight-loving genus that thrives in warm climates with well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil. Regular watering is necessary, but care must be taken not to overwater. Common challenges include pests like aphids and diseases including fungal infections. It's highly durable and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. During seasonal transitions, adjusting watering schedules is necessary. Excessive heat during summer may require adequate shade, while in colder winters, protection may be necessary to prevent frost damage.

6 most common species：
Russian Thistle
Kali tragus subsp. tragus can be eaten raw or cooked when young and tender. Older plants, on the other hand, become too tough and woody to eat. Some individuals may be sensitive and allergic to this plant. When it becomes dry, it can be a fire hazard.
Prickly saltwort
Prickly prickly saltwort is a halophyte plant—a plant that grows in places where the water is salty. When burned, the salt in this succulent plant produces sodium carbonate which was once used for glassmaking. Prickly prickly saltwort occurs across Europe, particularly along the shores of the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Slender Russian Thistle
Slender Russian Thistle (Kali collina) is an annual herb that can grow to be 60 cm tall. Slender Russian Thistle is also called the tumbleweed for its seed dispersal, as well as the Tartar thistle. Species within the Kali genus were previously part of the Salsola genus.
Kali paulsenii
It is native to Eurasia and it is present in the American southwest as an introduced species and sometimes a weed in sandy, disturbed habitat types. It is an annual herb forming a brambly clump of intricately branched, prostrate to erect stems growing up to a meter long.
Kali komarovii
Kali komarovii is a low-growing annual plant that is cultivated as a food crop for its leaves and young shoots. In Japan, where seaweed is a delicacy, this plant is honored by the name "okahijiki," which translates to "land seaweed." This plant is tolerant of both humidity and salinity and grows well in full sun or partial shade.
Kali tamamschjanae
Kali tamamschjanae is characterized by its robust stature and adaptability to arid environments. This plant often displays thorny, succulent leaves that store water, crucial for surviving in its desert habitat. Vibrant, solitary flowers bloom seasonally, with colors contrasting against its typically duller foliage, and attract specific pollinators. A deep root system anchors kali tamamschjanae firmly, allowing it to tap into scarce water reserves.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
