my sister sent me a paper bean for Christmas. it said "don't worry, be happy" on it.

I planted it in the little box and followed the instructions. it didn't grow.

to be honest it was a cr@p present, so I sent her something really cr@p for her birthday.

Thanx a bunch, I was hopimg for a proper answer. Cheers for nothing, It may be crap to you, but it was from my little grandson.

I didn't actually say your gift was crap, I said that mine was.

Well I used to have a patch in the garden where there were quite a few 4 leaf clovers but I've never grown my own.
I think the best thing is not to let it dry out, keep it damp, but don't over-water or it will rot. Plenty of daylight is very important, but not direct sun.
Oh dear, I'd be terified I was going to kill it with kindness...I hope it brings you lots & lots of luck! Let us know if you win the lotto. :o)

Thanyou Robinia. I will give my little pot of clover all the care I can as you say. What I really need to know is when to re pot it, I have seen it said that it needs to be re-planted up to the buds but I am not sure this is the right advice. It started off as one big seed and the advise was to split the shoots up once grown, but at what point do you know when the time is right ? Any construtive comments would be very welcome. No need for snidey stuff. Cheers

I,m sure if you plant it out in the middle of the lawn it will do it,s own thing and multiply,mine has no problem it,s hard to find the grass.
