How difficult is it to take care of Persian Clover
With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Persian Clover, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.
What are the water needs for Persian Clover
Persian Clover should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Persian Clover
Persian Clover loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
What is the sunlight requirement for Persian Clover
Persian Clover thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Shaftal Clover.
How to fertilize Persian Clover
The Persian Clover is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.
