Purple Clover
About Purple Clover
Purple Clover is a super rare houseplant 🌿 that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light ☀️ and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
Purple Clover likes soil that is well draining. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.

How to fertilize Purple Clover
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Purple Clover after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Wasn’t sure if this was a weed or not #WhiteClover

Bought a shamrock Bought a shamrock at food city today anything I should know about them?
-
The stems seem a little wilted and not as vibrantly green. I recently watered it. When potted 3 weeks ago place rocks at bottom of pot, then soil, then plant. Any advice? Should this be an outdoor plant instead of a house plant?
