Cupped Clover requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly.

By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Southern Clover is always in the right place to thrive.
