Water: Urena thrives in moderate climates with balanced moisture retention and drainage. Preferring regular watering every 1-2 weeks, it avoids overhydration. As an outdoor plant in temperate zones, growth cycles align with rainfall, requiring less irrigation during wet seasons.

Propagation: Propagation of urena primarily uses seed sowing, stem cuttings, and division. Key factors include light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Techniques involve pretreating seeds and ensuring moisture for germination. For cuttings, select healthy stems and maintain high humidity until roots form.
