Water: Hop thrives in temperate climates, requiring consistent moisture and moderate humidity. It needs weekly watering and benefits from rainwater during its growing season to enhance foliage and growth, making it a vigorous climber suited for outdoor cultivation.

Propagation: Propagation of hop primarily involves rhizome division and softwood cuttings. Key requirements include moderate light, consistent moisture, well-draining soil, and cool temperatures for root development. Using rooting hormones can improve success rates. Regular pest and disease monitoring is essential throughout the process.
