Cultivating clover seeds - are the plants hardy in the field?
As pseudo-seed (Pittosporum) refers to a genus of plants within the family of Klebsamengewächse, which is particularly characterized by its sticky coated seeds. Shining leaves and striking inflorescences make these shrubs a sought-after ornament for home and garden.
Cultivate the adhesive seeds in the bucket
In nature, clover seeds occur primarily in the Paläotropis, this zone includes the following regions of the earth:
Since sticky seeds only tolerate frosty temperatures to a maximum of minus 10 degrees Celsius, they can generally only be cultivated outdoors in European regions north of the Alps to a very limited extent throughout the year. If your garden is not currently on a British channel island, the culture in the bucket usually gives the better results. Similar to palm trees cultivated in the garden or oleanders grown in a pot, clover seeds in the summer love their place in the sun in the open air, but spend the winter better protected in a suitable winter quarters.
The right winter quarters for the Klebsamen
In an ideal winter quarter for cuttings, the following conditions prevail:
For a short time, sticky seeds can also withstand temperature drops down to about minus 10 degrees Celsius. Therefore, they are less sensitive than some other plants if they are not brought into the house so soon in the fall. Like many potted plants, clover seed needs a bright winter habitat. The room temperature should be as even as possible between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius.
Cultivate clover seeds throughout the year in the house
Klebsamen can be pulled not only as potted plants on the balcony and the terrace, the low shrubs and shrubs are also cultivated as houseplants. The necessary sunlight is given to the plants, for example, in front of a window front or in the conservatory. However, specimens cultured throughout the year in the house should also be placed in a cooler room for the winter and thus be adjusted to a phase of hibernation.
Tips
Sticky seeds should be poured relatively little during hibernation and possibly not freshly fertilized at all. Since these plants are occasionally attacked by common spider mites, aphids, wool and mealybugs, you should also carry out a brief infestation check regularly on the underside of the leaves, even in winter quarters.
