How to Find a Four Leaf Clover
A four leaf clover is associated with good luck, particularly because it is rare and hard to find. A clover with four leaves is actually considered a genetic defect, and can only be found one in every 10,000 clovers. Sounds like a hard task? Here’s how you can find a four leaf clover you can boast of.
Train your eyes. Start training your eyes to take note of little details. You can even do this casually, such as looking for pennies on the ground without having to bend down to look for them. Once you’ve trained your eyes to start taking in the little details, you will hopefully have an easier time looking for a four leaf clover.

Start looking for your four leaf clover in a clover patch. You don’t need to crouch or bend to get a better look. Let your eyes scan through the patch. You aren’t quite aware of it, but clovers that don’t fit the common pattern will stand up in such a way that your eyes will take notice of.
Late summer is also said to be more favorable than spring when it comes to hunting for four leaf clovers.
If you’ve found a four leaf clover in a certain patch before, it’s more likely that another one will pop up. Some places are more favorable in producing four leaf clovers than others. When you find a four leaf clover in a patch, check the surrounding areas, as it’s more likely that more of the four leaf clover will pop up.
You know what’s rarer than four leaf clovers? Five leaf clovers, six leaf clovers and beyond. The record number of leaves found on a clover is 18 leaves. Like four leaf clovers, you’ll be able to find any of these when your eyes detect a break in the pattern of normal clovers.
Your right-brain function benefits from looking for four leaf clovers. Pattern recognition (or looking for inconsistencies in patterns) is a right-brain function, and other right-brain functions like art and music will also improve with more practice.
