Care Instructions
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.Soil
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.Fertilizer
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.Repotting
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.Propagation
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.Pruning
Pruning is not necessary for field clover. However, deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired.Toxicity
Field clover is not toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe and is sometimes used as forage for livestock.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
