Care Instructions
Mountain Clover is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, direct sunlight and moderate temperatures. The plant thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. It is well-suited for outdoor growth in temperate climates.Soil
Mountain Clover prefers well-draining loamy soil. The soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. A soil mix that includes organic matter can help provide the necessary nutrients.Fertilizer
Fertilize Mountain Clover with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 5-10-10 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Fertilize sparingly, as the plant does not require high nutrient concentrations.Repotting
Repot Mountain Clover when it outgrows its current container or when the soil becomes compacted. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Mountain Clover can be propagated by seed or division. Seeds can be sown in the spring, while division is best done in the early spring or fall. Ensure that each division has a healthy root system and is planted in well-draining soil.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for Mountain Clover. However, you can trim back any dead or damaged foliage to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxicity
Mountain Clover is not toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to have around animals and children.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
