DETAILS
Care Instructions
Narrowleaf clover thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures. It prefers direct bright light and should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. The plant does well in moderate humidity and does not require special temperature conditions beyond what is typical for temperate regions.Soil
Trifolium angustifolium prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too compacted. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant once during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
As an annual plant, Trifolium angustifolium does not require repotting. However, if grown in containers, ensure the pot has good drainage and is large enough to accommodate the plant's root system for the duration of its life cycle.Propagation
Narrowleaf clover can be propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds in early spring after the last frost. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep them moist until germination, which typically occurs within 1-2 weeks.Pruning
Pruning is not necessary for Trifolium angustifolium. However, you can remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from self-seeding excessively.Toxicity
Trifolium angustifolium is not toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe and is sometimes used as forage for livestock.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
