The type of soil used varies depending on the product; please determine this based on the soil you have.

Before placing the seeds, ensure the soil is moist. You can do this by using the following methods:

1 | Place the soil in a container and add water

Place the potting soil into a flowerpot or container, slowly pour in water, and use chopsticks to thoroughly stir the soil to moisten it.
Ensure the soil surface is flat.

2 | Put the soil into a bag and add water

Fill the bag with potting soil, then slowly pour in water until the soil is moist.

Planting tips:

It is recommended to sow 1/3 of the seed quantity first (e.g., sow 3 out of 9 seeds) to maintain proper spacing. After the seedlings emerge, thin them out as needed, removing weak seedlings and keeping the strongest plants to provide more growing space.

Basic Planting Guidelines for Clover

Also known as white clover (シロツメクサ). It is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family, native to Europe. The flowers are white, and the leaves consist of three leaflets .

Temperature: 20~30°C

Although they need water, if the soil is too waterlogged (soaked), the seeds will rot due to lack of oxygen.

Avoid soil drying

The soil must be kept moist. If it is too dry, the seeds will not be able to absorb water and will fail to germinate.

Until it sprouts, place it in a shady place for half a day.

Avoid direct sunlight; place in a semi-shaded area (with diffused light).


Post-germination management
Water gently with a sprayer after germination and during the early growth stages to avoid washing away the seedlings. Water thoroughly only when the soil surface is dry.

Thinning: Increase the spacing between seedlings

If the seedlings are growing too crowded, remove the excess seedlings until there is enough space between them.

Manage in a sunny and well-ventilated place.

Ensure adequate sunlight exposure and good ventilation to prevent disease.

When the plant grows too long and has passed its peak flowering period, prune it completely , leaving only the part 1-2cm from the base .

You can enjoy the pleasure of its repeated growth through pruning.

After germination and in the early stages of planting, water gently with a thin stream of water (such as a spray bottle) to avoid washing away the seedlings with a strong flow. Water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry.

Why didn't the seed sprout? Let us help you find out the reason.

Reason 1: Overwatering (root rot)

Reason 1: Overwatering (root rot)


Another reason is over-care and excessive daily watering.
If the soil is too wet, the roots cannot breathe and will rot and die. The roots will shrink and disappear, turn brown, and become thin and fragile.

Reason 2: Dryness

If you forget to water your plants, the soil will dry out and the plants will wither.
The leaves will become dry and brittle.
If there is still moisture in the leaves, water them thoroughly.
They might be able to recover.

Reason 3: Lack of sunlight (Extended)

If the seedlings do not receive enough sunlight after germination, the stems will grow too quickly and eventually break under the weight of the flower heads, causing the plant to wither. Make sure the plant receives ample sunlight and avoid overwatering.

Reason 4: The temperature is not suitable

Every plant has its optimal growth temperature.
Both excessively high and low temperatures can slow down plant growth and even cause plants to wither.
