How to Propagate Urtica ?
Primary propagation methods for urtica include seed sowing, division, and stem cuttings. Successful propagation depends on factors such as adequate moisture, light exposure, and fertile, well-draining soil. A special consideration for urtica is handling with care due to its stinging hairs. Generally, propagation is of moderate difficulty due to its resilient nature, although its vigorous growth can be a challenge. For seed propagation: 1) Sow seeds in moist soil during spring or autumn. 2) Cover lightly with soil and keep in partial shade. 3) Maintain consistent moisture until germination. For division: 1) Divide in spring or autumn, wearing gloves to avoid stings. 2) Replant divisions promptly, watering well to establish.
