Mugwort
Mugwort is a tall, herbaceous plant that can grow up to 6 feet tall. It has green, lobed leaves and produces small, yellow-green flowers in the summer. Mugwort is known for its strong aroma, which is often described as earthy and slightly bitter. It is also used as a natural insect repellent and has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries.
Propagation of Mugwort Seeds
Mugwort is typically propagated from seeds. Here are some steps to follow for propagating the seeds:
- Prepare the soil: Mugwort prefers well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Till the soil and remove any weeds or debris.
- Sow the seeds: Scatter the seeds over the prepared soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water the soil lightly.
- Provide the right conditions: The seeds require consistent moisture and warm temperatures to germinate. Keep the soil moist and place the container in a warm location with plenty of sunlight.
- Wait for germination: Mugwort seeds can take up to 21 days to germinate. Be patient and continue to provide the right conditions until the seeds sprout.
