Pull lucky clover perennial in the pot
Lucky clover enjoys great popularity as a souvenir on New Year's Eve, but the four-leafed plant should bring good luck. Unfortunately, the lucky clover is usually disposed of after a short time. The pretty ornamental plant can be pulled perennially with little care.
Plant lucky clover in spring or in the pot all year round
You can pull the lucky clover in the pot all year round. In summer, he likes it when you put him in a sunny spot in the garden.
At the end of May you can plant lucky clover directly into the field. There, too, he appreciates a sunny location.
So you cultivate lucky clover in the pot
While you usually do not need to water lucky clover in the field, the lucky clover in the pot needs regular water. But avoid waterlogging. Fertilization is done - if at all - only during the summer.
Lucky clover needs to be repotted only if the previous pot has become too small. The new planter should only be slightly larger. Replace the plant substrate as completely as possible.
Cutting is not required for lucky clover. However, you should cut off dry and diseased leaves. You may also remove leaves that have been attacked by pests. If you do not want to harvest seeds, you should also cut the flowers immediately after flowering.
Hibernate properly over winter
Lucky clover is only partially winter hardy. In the pot he does not survive a cold winter outside. Winterize it therefore frost-free.
You can simply continue grooming a clover that you bought in the winter in the living room. Do not pour too much or fertilize it.
If the lucky clover has survived more than one season, it turns brown in the fall and loses the leaves. But he drives out again in the spring. Place the pot in a cool but frost-free place where it is not too dark. Casting is so sparse that the substrate does not dry out completely.
Tips
If you have bought a lucky clover in the pot or got it as a gift, you should repot it immediately if possible. Often the vessels are much too small and the soil too moist, too nutrient or too leached.
