Pretty and fun houseplant, watch their leaves open in the morning and close in the evening!

Light: Purple Shamrock plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some morning sun or filtered sunlight, especially in cooler climates, but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch their delicate leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal for indoor placement.
 
Temperature: These plants thrive in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C) during the growing season. They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in winter but should be kept away from drafts and cold windows.
 
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water your Purple Shamrock plant when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch. During active growth (spring and summer), water more frequently, and reduce watering in fall and winter when growth slows down. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as it can lead to root rot.
 
Humidity: Purple Shamrocks appreciate moderate to high humidity levels. If your indoor air is dry, increase humidity by misting the plant regularly or placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles near the plant. A room humidifier can also be beneficial.
 
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but allows excess water to drain freely. A mix formulated for indoor plants or African violets works well. You can also add perlite or sand to improve drainage.
 
Fertilizing: Feed your Purple Shamrock plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is resting.
 
Dormancy: Purple Shamrock plants may go dormant and lose their leaves in late fall or winter. During this time, reduce watering and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. New growth typically resumes in spring.
 
Potting: Repot your Purple Shamrock plant every 1-2 years in spring if it has outgrown its pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
 
Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common indoor plant pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. If pests are detected, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil, following the manufacturer's instructions.
 
Propagation: Purple Shamrock plants can be propagated easily by dividing the rhizomes (underground stems) or planting bulbils (small bulbs) produced at the base of the plant. Plant these divisions or bulbils in separate pots with well-draining soil.
