CARE GUIDE

How to keep Lotus Rectus.

Light

Erect canary clover is a sun-loving, perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats, commonly flourishing in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

Temperature

Erect canary clover can tolerate a wide spectrum of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by particular combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer conditions with enough rainfall or watering. Extended stretches of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures make Erect canary clover more likely to die. In winter, protecting it from cold can raise its survival rate.

Fertilizer

The best time to fertilize Erect canary clover is in early spring, when it is coming out of dormancy and beginning active growth. Fertilization supplies essential nutrients for healthy development. Although Erect canary clover has fairly low nutrient requirements, fertilizing once a year can improve its survival and result in better, longer-lasting flowers.
