Growth habit

Mainly distributed in temperate to tropical areas, and in the wet grasslands, riverbanks, roadsides were semi-autonomous. Prefer moist warm climate, more drought-resistant, cold-resistant. Suitable for well-drained, calcium-rich clay soil growth. Growth cycle is generally 2-6 years, in warm conditions, often shortened to biennial or annual.

Clover is mostly planted as lawn in various parks and green areas. Seedling growth is slow, seed sown into the lawn bed, every morning or evening spraying, always keep the surface of the lawn bed wet until the seedlings, seedlings can reduce the number of spraying, but still need careful management, seedling management about 30-50 days, in addition to pay attention to watering so that the lawn bed to keep wet, but also at any time to remove weeds, mainly manual pulling, to prevent the weed damage.

Three-leaf clover because of its invasive, do not need to carry out mid-tillage weed control, due to the nitrogen-fixing rhizobacteria can absorb nitrogen in the air, converted into a form that can be used by the plant. Therefore, fertilization is based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and no or little nitrogen fertilizer is applied. In the peak growing season and overwintering, it is necessary to supply sufficient water to ensure vigorous growth and safe overwintering.

One mowing can be done before the peak summer and watered well to keep the plant green. Before overwintering, mow once more and water well in winter. In this way, when the next year returns to the green, there is no yellowing branches and leaves on the surface of the lawn.

This is a good idea.
