1. Soil: the growth place of nettle is generally in the place where the soil is not very fertile, such as the gully and river. Therefore, when breeding, the soil should also be selected according to its growth habits. The first condition to be satisfied is drainage, because if the drainage is not good, the roots of plants are easy to be flooded, so the drainage soil must be selected. Plant growth needs certain nutrients, so the fertility of the soil should also be taken into account, so to sum up, choose the soil suitable for nettle growth, to have drainage, but also more fertile soil.
2. Watering: before watering it every time, it is necessary to observe the state of the soil. Only when the soil is completely dry can it be watered. According to the general rule, when the seedlings grow to about 30 cm, they need to be watered once, and before the ridge is sealed, they need to be watered once. In case of dry weather, it needs to be watered manually. The frequency of watering is once a week.
3. Fertilization: under the condition of sufficient base fertilizer, according to the growth state of nettle, topdressing is also required. Especially in the growth period, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to meet its growth needs. If the plant is growing healthily, apply fertilizer once a month.
4. Light: if the light is not enough, the plant will not grow well. Therefore, in the process of growth, the light needs of the plant should be met at one time, and the light time should be at least five hours a day.
1. Propagation: it can be propagated in individual plants, and the propagation time is in the first ten days of April every year. First of all, we should collect the seed roots, and then customize them. According to the line spacing of 70cm, the plant spacing is 20cm, the hole depth is 30cm, and finally the soil is covered with 5cm, and the seedlings can be produced in about ten days by pouring enough water.
2. Weeding: weeding for the first time after the seedling is finished, and weeding is not needed after the ridge is sealed
1. Insect damage: aphids and leafminers are easy to be infected during the growth period. They will eat the young leaves of the plant and affect the growth. If found, Omethoate can be used for spray treatment.
2. Disease: it is easy to induce powdery mildew when you are hungry in high temperature season. You can use white doctor to spray once a week, three times or so, and then it can be eradicated.
1. Edible: it is edible,
2. Whether it is suitable for home breeding: there are small stings on the edge of nettles, which are easy to sting people, so it is not suitable for home breeding.
