How to Propagate

Here's how:

Dig them out of the soil.

[{"selector":"#anim-19bcdcc6-c17e-4ec0-90d3-e83a0e662f3d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.01)","scale(0.999)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Shamrocks grow from corms, or rhizomes that look like clusters of little bulbs. Dig them gently out of the soil. You can gently break apart the corms or rhizomes into smaller pieces to grow additional plants.

Add soil to the new pot.

[{"selector":"#anim-c8c994e6-4931-4589-abb5-2d5f9d6272c4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.01)","scale(0.999)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Start with adding potting soil with a bit of organic matter mixed in to the pot. Shamrocks like acidic soil.

Hot Tip:

[{"selector":"#anim-6c805485-92f6-4eea-bbf2-3f9b5b77c798","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.01)","scale(0.999)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] If you have coffee grounds, you can mix in a couple tablespoons in.

Arrange the corms.

[{"selector":"#anim-d565c62b-5b31-4c8b-8bcb-858edbfa53bf","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.01)","scale(0.999)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Once you have your pot filled about 3 inches from the top, arrange your shamrock corms. Place them and inch or so apart.

Lightly cover them with soil.

[{"selector":"#anim-d6ee44e3-b702-4fd0-a0e4-9937052b17f7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.01)","scale(0.999)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Then cover the shamrock rhizomes with a about an inch to an inch and a half of soil.

Lightly water.

[{"selector":"#anim-8fd1ae3f-71aa-48e5-9aa7-fab6b65d4566","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.01)","scale(0.999)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Once you have your shamrocks replanted, lightly water them and place them in a sunny window. In a couple weeks you should see new growth. A few weeks later the shamrocks will REALLY start poping.

Purple shamrocks are also called love plants and they have the sweetest pale pink blooms.
