Cloves Plant’s Care Instructions:

Soil: Soil should be rich and loamy with good drainage and a lot of organic matter.

Water: Clove tree grows in wet tropics. It requires regular watering, especially when the plant is young (first 3-4 years). Overwatering must be avoided.

Fertilizer: Apply 50 kg aged manure or compost and bone meal or fish meal 2-4 kg per year around the plants. Usually, organic fertilizer is applied at the beginning of the rainy season in the regions where cloves are cultivated. Once the plant starts to grow, apply 40-gram urea, 110-gram superphosphate, and 80-gram MOP, instead of MOP, you can also use potassium sulfate.
The dosage must be increased and for the tree that is mature and older than 15 years, apply 600 gm urea, 1560 gm superphosphate and 1250 gm MOP per year. The fertilizer must be applied in equal split doses in shallow trenches dug around the plant after the end of summer.

Position: For healthy and strong growth, it needs a tropical climate. The Clove prefers a semi-shaded exposure similar to black pepper. It can not withstand winter temperatures below 32 F (0 C). So do not plant it outside in an area with cold and harsh winters. However, it can tolerate occasional brief frosts.
