hello friends of @farms, today I want to share a topic which is very interesting because I really liked the idea of how to plant a very tasty spice with a strong and pleasant aroma like cloves.
The bald odor contains culinary and medicinal properties essential for human consumption. This spice is for its great aroma can be used in the kitchen also eat pains, stomach and naceas and has nutrients that help improve the immune system.

how to grow it?
The clove is an evergreen tree that usually grows to reach 20 meters in height, while the cultivated trees do not exceed 5 meters. Its growth is quite slow and it can remain 100 years without difficulty.
The climate of this tree must be subtropical or less temperate, it does not tolerate temperatures below 0ºC, ideally between 20ºC and 30ºC.
You can grow them in pots and there will be no problem but when the cold seasons come you can put them inside the house.

To cultivate the clove can be done by cutting or by seeds. Of course, the ones we use as spice (the nails), do not serve us because they are dried and can not germinate. at the time of sowing the seeds it is not necessary to bury them to the earth just by rubbing them on and half adding a little scattered earth will be fine.

As for your care, we will place the pot in a place with partial shade, and the soil must be rich in nutrients and clayey, the soil must be with a lot of organic matter. This clove tree grows in tropical areas for which you should have a good watering especially if the plant is young about 3 to 4 years old and the land is humid. Do not irrigate because it could be harmful and this plant does not flower until age 6 and the nail is no more than the dried flower button.
