Shamrock

Common name:
Shamrock

Light:
Bright

Water:
Moderate





Shamrock sleep at night and their leaves fold up then unfold when it's day time again!






The Shamrock grows from a bulb underground and shoots up new from the ground. It has about foot long stems with 3 leaves on top. There's purple, green, and black shamrocks. They like bright light too much sun and they will burn, not enough and they won't grow. They like to be moist but not soggy. They grow better if you let them go rest during the winter. You can either put the pot somewhere dark and just forget it until winter or you can do what my great grandmother did and dig them up and put the bulbs in a paper sack and kept them in the vegtable cooler over winter. They also get little flowers on them as well! Any questions just ask!!
