Pretty, aromatic and very he althy - if you are looking for a natural remedy for urinary tract and kidney diseases, you should plant Mukunu Wenna. We'll show you how.
The Mukunu Wenna, which grows up to 50 centimeters high outdoors and has dark red leaves, is not only a pretty plant to look at, but can also be harvested and used as an herb in the kitchen (e.g. in salads and soups or as a spice of fish and meat dishes). However, it not only tastes aromatic, Mukunu Wenna, like the chinese berry, is also one of the plants of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and is used primarily for kidney and bladder diseases, headaches and conjunctivitis.
As you can see, the Asian herbal plant offers several advantages. For those who want to take advantage of this, here is a detailed explanation of how Mukunu Wenna is cultivated and cared for.
Grow Mukunu Wenna
Young plants are available in well-stocked garden shops or here. You can either plant them directly in your garden beds (from mid-May) or use them in tubs (usually only 30 centimeters high). The herb is also suitable for keeping as a houseplant in a conservatory all year round.
No matter where you plant Mukunu Wenna, it always prefers a sunny to only moderately half-shady location. And since the herb is not hardy, you have to plant it out again in autumn (between the end of September and October) and overwinter it in a frost-free, light-flooded room.
Care for Mukunu Wenna properly
➤ Fertilize:
You must provide the perennial plant with a complete fertilizer regularly during the season. If you keep the aromatic or medicinal herb as a container plant, you should use a liquid fertilizer as a practical matter. If you always keep the Mukunu Wenna in a pot, you should also transplant them into fresh, nutrient-rich soil every spring.
➤ Casting:
You should also water your Mukunu Wenna regularly and keep it slightly moist throughout. However, if you keep them in pots, you have to be carefulmake sure that there is no direct waterlogging in the container. One way to avoid this is to plant the plant in a natural clay pot (terracotta).
➤ Pruning:
Prune the plant regularly and it will grow much bushier and look even prettier. This is best achieved by regularly harvesting the vitamin-rich leaves, which make a nice contrast, especially in salads.
