Soil: Nettles do not have any requirements for the soil for cultivation. As long as the land is flat and slightly fertile; watering: water it appropriately and do not allow water to accumulate in the soil. It needs to be watered every week during the dry season. Once; Fertilization: In addition to the base fertilizer applied before planting, it also needs to be top-dressed during the growth period. The interval between top-dressing is about one month; Light: It needs to be given sufficient sunlight to allow it to carry out photosynthesis.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Nettles generally grow in ravines, riversides and other places where the soil is not very fertile. Therefore, when breeding, you should also follow its instructions. When choosing soil for growth habits, the first condition that must be met is drainage, because if the drainage is not good, the roots of the plant will be easily waterlogged, so you must choose soil with drainage. The growth of plants requires certain nutrients, so the fertility of the soil must also be taken into consideration. Therefore, in summary, choosing a soil suitable for the growth of nettles must have drainage and relatively fertile soil quality.

2. Watering: Before watering it every time, you need to observe the condition of the soil. Watering can only be done when the soil is completely dry. According to common sense, plant seedlings need to be watered once when they grow to about 30 centimeters, and once before sealing the ridges. If there is drought weather, artificial watering is required, and the frequency of watering is once a week.

3. Fertilization: When sufficient base fertilizer is applied, top-dressing fertilizer is required according to the growth status of the nettles. Especially during the growth period, nitrogen fertilizer is needed to meet its growth needs. If the plant is growing in a healthy state, fertilizing once a month is sufficient.

4. Light: If the light is insufficient, the plant will grow poorly. Therefore, during the growth process, its light needs must be met at a time, and the light time should be at least five hours a day.

2. Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by divisions, and the breeding time is in early April every year. First, the roots should be collected, and then customized according to the row spacing of 70 centimeters, the plant spacing of 20 centimeters, the hole depth of 30 centimeters, and finally covering with 5 centimeters of soil and watering enough, and the seedlings can emerge in about ten days.

2. Weeding: Carry out the first weeding after the seedlings emerge. Weeding is no longer required after sealing the ridges.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: Aphids and leaf miners are easily infected during the growth period. They will eat the young leaves of the plant and affect the growth. If found, you can Use Omethoate for spray treatment.

2. Disease: Powdery mildew is easily induced during the hot season. You can spray it with white doctor, once a week, and it can be eradicated about three times.

IV. Other issues

1. Edible: It is edible.

2. Is it suitable for home cultivation: There are small thorns on the edges of nettles. It is easy to sting people, so it is not suitable for home breeding.
