Triangular lucky clover - location and care

The triangular lucky clover likes to spend the winter in the flower window, where it gets enough sun. Repot it immediately, as most plants are sold in pots that are too small.

You may water the triangular lucky clover penetrating. You should avoid waterlogging, however, as this would cause the roots to rot.

In summer, fertilize the triangular lucky clover in a pot every two weeks. There is no fertilization immediately after repotting in fresh substrate. Reduce the dosage indicated on the package to avoid over-fertilization.

Pests and diseases are rare

Triangular lucky clover is very robust. Pests and diseases only occur if you water too much or too little, the humidity is too low or the substrate is too depleted.

How to grow lucky triangular clover for several years

In the first year, the lucky clover spends the winter in the flower window. In the following years, the leaves turn brown in autumn because the plant then goes into hibernation. But they sprout again in spring.

You can also plant the triangular lucky clover outdoors in summer, but then have to dig up the bulbs again in autumn.

Tips

The triangular lucky clover is only partially hardy and should therefore be grown in a pot. In summer you can put it on the terrace or plant it in the garden. But it must be overwintered frost-free.
