If starting from seeds, soak clove seeds in warm water overnight to improve germination.
Fill your pot with well-draining potting soil.
Plant the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep or transplant seedlings carefully into the pot.
Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Light and Temperature:
Place the pot in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight.
Cloves prefer warm and humid environments; maintain temperatures between 68°F and 86°F (20°C - 30°C).
Fertilizing:
Feed your plant every 6-8 weeks with a balanced fertilizer or organic compost to encourage healthy growth.
Maintenance:
Prune occasionally to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.
Remove any dead leaves to keep the plant healthy.
Aromatizing Your Home:
The leaves and buds of the clove plant emit a pleasant, spicy aroma.
Lightly crush a few leaves or buds near your living spaces to release the fragrance naturally.
