Care Instructions
Knotted Clover thrives in direct bright light and prefers moderate temperatures. It does well in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant when the soil has dried out almost completely, and ensure it has good air circulation.Soil
Trifolium striatum prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but does best in moderately nutrient-rich soil. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
This plant generally does not require additional fertilization. If the soil is particularly poor, a balanced fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season.Repotting
As an annual or biennial plant, repotting is generally not necessary. If grown in a container, ensure it has enough space to grow and replace the soil annually to maintain nutrient levels.Propagation
Knotted Clover can be propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds in early spring or fall, directly into the soil. Ensure the seeds are lightly covered with soil and kept moist until germination.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for Trifolium striatum. However, removing spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from self-seeding excessively.Toxicity
