Lucky clover in red - decorative lucky charm
Lucky clover is not just green or green-violet leaves. Another species of Triangular Lucky Clover (Oxalis triangularis) enchants the gardener with red leaves. The care of the red lucky clover, which incidentally is not related to the wild awake sweet clover, is similar to the care of the other lucky clover
Growing lucky clover in red in the pot perennial
The joy of red clover is often not long, so that the plant is disposed of again after a short time. Lucky clover with red leaves can easily be kept for several years.
With a little luck, you'll even make it bloom and then enjoy pretty white or white-pink flowers.
For the red lucky clover to thrive for several years, he only needs a little care:
Repot immediately after purchase
If you want to care for your red clover for several years, you should first repot it. Often, the purchased plants were placed in substandard substrate and the pots are often too small.
Replace the substrate completely. If you want, you can also separate the onions and multiply your lucky clover.
Later, the red lucky clover will only have to be repotted when the old planter has become too small. Take a pot that is only slightly larger than the old one. Repotting may also be necessary if the substrate is completely leached out.
Red lucky clover is only partially winter hardy
Red lucky clover is native to Mexico and is only partially winter hardy. They are welcome to put the plant outside in the summer, but have to bring it back to the house in the fall.
You can also plant red bedding clover in the bed. Then you have to dig up the bulbs in the fall, still remove green leaves and put the nodules in small pots with plant substrate.
Place the pots in a bright, frost-free place until next spring. Do not fertilize and pour so that the soil is just a bit damp.
Tips
Red Lucky clover is as robust as other lucky clover species. Pests rarely occur, even diseases are rare. Only with bad care it can come to decay or pest infestation.
