Cultivation methods and precautions of red clover

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Red clover prefers coolness, preferably between 15 and 20 degrees. When it is too hot, its growth is hindered to a certain extent. Therefore, when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, it must be adjusted. Above 40 degrees may even directly lead to its death. It has good cold resistance, but it cannot be lower than minus fifteen degrees Celsius.

2. Light: Red clover is a plant that prefers semi-shade. It is very afraid of strong light. After being exposed to strong light for a long time, its leaves may turn yellow and its flowering may be affected. Therefore, in the case of strong light, be sure to block it slightly.

3. Watering: Red clover has good waterlogging resistance, but poor drought resistance. Therefore, during the growing period, it is necessary to replenish water in time after drying, and spray some water when it is very hot. However, water must also be controlled in winter.

4. Fertilization: Red clover is relatively tolerant to barrenness, so generally speaking, not too much fertilizer is needed. It can be applied only before and after the flowering period. It is generally not necessary to apply it at other times unless the growth is severely hindered.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Seeding propagation can be adopted. The fruits are usually collected in autumn and then the seeds are collected. After collection, store it at zero to five degrees. The sowing site can be in a fertile, well-drained area. Both spring and autumn sowing are possible. Before sowing, the seeds can be mixed with fine sand and spread out in a "broadcasting" manner. The thickness of the soil cover can be between two and three centimeters.

2. Pruning: Pruning is mainly aimed at leaves and flowers. The main targets for pruning are dry and yellow leaves. In addition, the flowers also need to be trimmed after the flowering period.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: "Viral diseases" are prone to occur in hot and dry seasons, so appropriate amount of water should be added while spraying the pesticide. "White leaf disease" is common in humid conditions and can be controlled with Class A thiophanate.

2. Pests: "Aphids" and other pests are relatively common, and spraying pesticides is relatively effective.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and a good medicinal material.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, it has good ornamental value. And its maintenance method is relatively simple.
