DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Stinging nettle prefers moderate temperatures and medium light conditions. It thrives in environments with consistent moisture and moderate humidity. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist. The plant can tolerate a range of temperatures but grows best in moderate climates.
Sol
Stinging nettle prefers loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should have good drainage to prevent waterlogging, but it should also retain enough moisture to keep the plant hydrated. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for optimal growth.
Engrais
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the active growing period.
Rempotage
Repotting is generally not necessary for stinging nettle as it is typically grown outdoors. However, if grown in containers, repotting can be done in early spring before the new growth starts. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil.
Propagation
Stinging nettle can be propagated by seeds or by division. Seeds can be sown in early spring, while division can be done in the fall or early spring. Ensure that each division has a good root system and plant them in moist, nutrient-rich soil.
Taille
Pruning is beneficial for stinging nettle to control its growth and prevent it from becoming invasive. Prune the plant back in late fall after it has gone dormant. Remove any dead or damaged stems to encourage healthy new growth in the spring.
Toxicité
Stinging nettle is toxic due to its stinging hairs, which contain histamine, formic acid, and other irritants. These can cause a painful stinging sensation and skin irritation upon contact. It is toxic to both pets and humans, so caution should be exercised when handling the plant.
Supplémentaire
Stinging nettle has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and as a food source. The young leaves can be cooked and eaten like spinach, and the plant is known for its high nutritional value. However, always handle with care to avoid the stinging hairs.
