Clover planting methods and precautions

Clover, also known as clover, is a perennial herb of the genus Trifolium in the Leguminosae family. It grows strongly and has dense plants, making it very suitable for group planting and landscaping. It has high ornamental value, can be used as medicine, and has a wide range of uses. Let's talk about the planting methods and precautions of clover.

1. Soil selection

When planting clover, you should use loose, fine and flat soil. Its seeds are very small. If the cultivation soil is too sticky, it will hinder its growth and development. In addition, it is best if the soil contains rich organic matter, which can make the plants grow more vigorously.

2. Appropriate fertilization

Clover itself has a certain ability to fix nitrogen, and applying an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer can make the seedlings grow stronger. When it grows and matures, you should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In addition, nitrogen fertilizer helps its growth, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers have the effect of increasing production. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied in the later stage must not be too much.

3. Water in time

Clover likes to grow in humid places, so it should be watered in time during maintenance and the soil should be kept slightly moist. However, there should not be water accumulation in the potting soil, because if the amount of water is too much, its roots will rot due to poor breathing, and the plant will die.

4. Reasonable lighting

Clover can be placed in a relatively bright and well-lit place for maintenance in spring, autumn and winter. Especially in winter, giving clover more sunlight will help it survive the winter. It should not be exposed to the sun for a long time in summer, especially the midday sun, which is very strong, so it should be kept in a cool place.

5. Suitable temperature

Clover is a thermophilic plant that grows vigorously in summer and slowly in winter. The most suitable growth temperature for it is around 18-30 degrees.

6. Pest and disease control

Clover is rarely attacked by pests and diseases, but it may also be harmed by powdery mildew or brown spot disease. Once the disease occurs, it cannot be ignored and should be sprayed with pesticides in time. It is recommended to use Bordeaux mixture or carbendazim for spraying. If scale insects occur, omethoate can be used for spraying.
