watering
For Mealy Goosefoot, water about once every 7–10 days, making sure that the soil is moist but not saturated. Do not allow the soil to become either very dry or very wet as this will result in poor growth. During periods of drought, more frequent watering may be necessary. In winter, water less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
sunlight
Mealy Goosefoot (Chenopodium incanum var. incanum) is a plant species that prefers full sunlight or partial shade during the day. In full sun, it needs at least 6 hours per day of sunlight to thrive. If located in shady areas, the plant will need 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight to produce flowers. If grown in partial shade, the plants will still flower but will not produce as abundantly as if grown in full sun. It is best to provide at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day for Mealy Goosefoot to produce the best results.
pruning
Mealy Goosefoot (Chenopodium incanum var. incanum) should be pruned in early spring when growth begins. Pruning should be minimal, consisting of removing dead, damaged or diseased branches. If shaping of the shrub is desired, selectively remove some branches, taking care not to disrupt the natural shape of the plant. Fertilize after pruning with a slow release all-in-1 fertilizer to help the plant recover.
