Trifolium glomeratum, commonly known as clustered clover, is a species in the Fabaceae family. It is native to Europe and western Asia but has been introduced to other regions. This plant can be either annual or perennial and thrives in temperate climates. It is often found in grasslands, meadows, and along roadsides.
Clustered clover prefers full sun and moderate temperatures. It requires regular watering but can tolerate some drought once established. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme cold. It is relatively easy to care for and does not require frequent attention.
土壌
Trifolium glomeratum prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
肥料
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
植え替え
Repotting is generally not necessary for this plant as it is often grown outdoors. If grown in containers, repot when the plant outgrows its current pot, typically every 1-2 years. Use fresh, well-draining soil during repotting.
伝搬
Clustered clover can be propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds in early spring or fall. Ensure the soil is moist and keep the seeds in a sunny location. Germination usually occurs within a few weeks.
剪定
Pruning is not required for Trifolium glomeratum. However, you can trim back any dead or damaged foliage to maintain the plant's appearance. Deadheading spent flowers can also encourage more blooms.
毒性
Trifolium glomeratum is not toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe and can be used as forage for livestock.
