Lucky clover proliferates underground over onions
Lucky clover can not be pulled only from seeds. The plants produce many small onions, which spread in the garden. From the onions can also be very good new plants for pots that you can give away as New Year's Eve or New Year.
Lucky clover has small onions with roots
Lucky clover forms small, brown onions, which can be between 1.5 and 3.5 inches long and up to 3 inches wide. After three years, they separate from the mother plant and continue to grow as a separate plant. At the ends of the bulbs there are small roots, which serve primarily that the lucky clover finds a firm hold in the soil.
Pull new plants from onions
To grow lucky clover from onions, simply dig up the plants in the fall and carefully divide the onions. Then place them in prepared pots with potting soil.
Even if you transplant a lucky clover in the pot, you can separate onions for propagation.
Hibernate onions properly
Lucky clover can hibernate easily in a convenient location outside. However, if the place is unprotected, so that it is colder than minus ten degrees for a long time, the onions freeze. To hibernate them, either dig them out in the fall or plant them in a pot or a bowl.
If you want to overwinter lucky clover bulbs in the house, put the freshly dug onions in small pots of non-nutritious garden soil. Before that you should remove all green parts of the plant.
Maintain lucky clover in the pot in a frost-free place until the end of May. Pour little and do not fertilize the plants. Do not plant the lucky clover outside until the end of May, when the ice saints are over. Look for a good location where the lucky clover receives several hours of sun per day.
Tips
The clover (Oxalis) is not related to the sweet clover (Trifolium), which is awake in the garden and on meadows. In contrast to sweet clover, the lucky clover, which belongs to the sauerkle species, always has four leaves. He is therefore gladly given away as a lucky charm for the new year.
