Clove, also known as Lobongo, is a premium evergreen spice tree valued for its highly aromatic flower buds, which are harvested and dried to produce the world-famous clove spice. These buds carry a strong warm fragrance and are widely used in biryani, tea, sweets, Ayurvedic remedies, and natural medicinal preparations. This variety is admired for its long-term productivity, evergreen beauty, and rich spice yield once matured. The plant grows slowly but steadily and thrives well in pots, terraces, balconies, and home gardens when given proper care. Healthy nursery plants ensure good establishment, strong branching, and future high-quality clove production, making it ideal for spice lovers and long-term home gardeners. To keep it thriving: - Maintain temperature between 18°C to 32°C (prefers warm, humid climates). - Provide 3-5 hours of filtered sunlight or partial shade (avoid harsh direct sun). - Water 2-3 times a week, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. - Use well-drained loamy soil enriched with compost or organic matter. - Feed every 45-60 days with organic fertilizer to support healthy evergreen growth. - Mulch around the base to retain moisture and cool the roots. - Apply neem oil monthly to prevent fungal issues and leaf pests.
