Light and Temperature: Clove plants thrive in warm, humid conditions with partial shade. Aim for temperatures between 60°F to 90°F (15°C to 32°C).

Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogging.

Humidity: Clove plants prefer higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the plants regularly or using a humidifier.

Pruning: Prune the plant occasionally to encourage bushy growth and remove any dead or damaged parts.

Harvesting Cloves: It can take several years for a clove plant to mature and produce cloves. Harvest the cloves when they turn pink or reddish before they fully open and dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

By following these steps and providing proper care, you can successfully grow clove plants from cloves. Remember, patience is key as cloves take time to mature and produce viable cloves for harvest.
