Water: Native to moist regions, urtica fissa prefers regular hydration but can tolerate short dry spells. Water weekly to maintain lushness, ensuring soil stays evenly moist, particularly during the active growing season. Typically grown outdoors, urtica fissa thrives in environments mimicking its humid origin.

Fertilize: For urtica fissa, apply a balanced NPK fertilizer quarterly, using recommended amounts to prevent nutrient burn. Soil testing can guide adjustments, particularly in dormancy. Wear gloves when fertilizing and water the soil first to enhance nutrient absorption and protect roots.

Pruning: Urtica fissa features thorny stems and serrated leaves. Prune in early to late spring to promote new growth and reduce overcrowding. Remove dead stems and thin the center for better air circulation, reducing disease risk and improving both health and appearance.

Propagation: Urtica fissa propagates best through sowing fresh seeds in well-draining soil. Lightly cover the seeds and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Provide adequate light and warmth to promote germination, enabling new urtica fissa to thrive.
