Trifolium campestre, commonly known as field clover or hop clover, is an annual plant in the Fabaceae family. It is native to Europe and Asia but has been naturalized in many other regions. This plant is often found in meadows, fields, and along roadsides. It is known for its small, yellow flowers and trifoliate leaves.
Field clover thrives in temperate climates and prefers full sun. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate moderate temperatures and humidity levels. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings.
土壌
Field clover prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
肥料
A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize sparingly, as field clover does not require heavy feeding.
植え替え
As an annual plant, field clover does not typically require repotting. However, if grown in containers, it can be repotted at the beginning of the growing season to refresh the soil.
伝搬
Field clover can be easily propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds directly in the soil in early spring after the last frost. Ensure the soil is kept moist until germination occurs.
剪定
Pruning is not necessary for field clover. However, deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired.
毒性
Field clover is not toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe and is sometimes used as forage for livestock.
