4.Care Requirements:
Light and Temperature: Clove plants thrive in warm, humid conditions (15–32°C or 60–90°F) and need partial shade. Watering and Humidity: Water regularly without over-soaking and maintain high humidity. Pruning: Trim to encourage bushy growth and remove damaged parts.
- Harvesting and Drying:
- Clove trees take 5–7 years to produce flower buds. Harvest when the buds are still pinkish and unopened. Dry the buds in a shaded, ventilated area until they are crisp.
Growing cloves requires patience but offers the satisfaction of producing your own aromatic spice. For more detailed guidance, check resources like My Gardening Bliss and Tricks and Recipes.
