Clove cultivation, starting from seeds, is a fulfilling yet time-intensive process. Here are the key steps:
- Seed Selection and Preparation:
- Use fresh, healthy clove seeds for better germination rates. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the outer shell and speed up germination.
- Planting:
- Plant the seeds in pots or seed trays filled with well-draining soil, about 1 inch deep. Cover with plastic wrap or a clear lid to maintain moisture and warmth, simulating a greenhouse effect. Place the trays in indirect sunlight and keep the soil moist. Germination can take several weeks to months.
- Transplanting:
- When seedlings develop true leaves, transfer them to larger pots or the ground, using rich, well-draining soil. Maintain consistent moisture and use a balanced fertilizer sparingly.
