Planting Clove Seeds: Plant the soaked clove seeds about 1 inch deep into the soil. Place one seed per pot or space them evenly in the tray.

Covering the Pots/Trays: Cover the pots or trays with plastic wrap or a transparent cover to create a greenhouse effect. This helps retain moisture and warmth, aiding germination.

Maintaining Moisture and Warmth: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the pots or trays in a warm location with indirect sunlight.

Germination Period: Clove seeds can take several weeks to sprout, so be patient. Once sprouts emerge, remove the plastic covering and provide filtered sunlight.
Planting Clove Seedlings:
Materials Needed:

Larger pots with good drainage
Rich, well-draining potting mix
Fertilizer (balanced, slow-release or organic)

Steps:

Transplanting: Once the clove seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough, transplant them into larger pots filled with a well-draining potting mix.
Soil and Fertilization: Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize the plants sparingly with a balanced, slow-release or organic fertilizer to support growth.
