保养说明
Italian Melilot thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It does well in environments with average humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant is relatively easy to care for and is well-suited for outdoor growth.收成
Melilotus italicus, commonly known as Italian sweetclover, is typically harvested when it reaches full bloom, which is usually around 90 days from planting. To harvest, cut the plants at the base using a sickle or scythe, preferably in the morning when the dew has dried but before the heat of the day. This helps to preserve the essential oils and quality of the plant. After cutting, the plants should be dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent mold and degradation of the plant material. Once dried, the plants can be threshed to separate the seeds if seed harvest is desired.土壤
Melilotus italicus prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in moderately fertile soil. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.肥料
A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 is recommended. Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season to support its growth and flowering.换盆
