How to fertilize Crimson Woodsorrel
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Crimson Woodsorrel after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

shamrock update! so I have determined due to the fact that I noticed a lot of it on my other plants that are healthy and actually thriving that what is on my shamrock plant is actually mineral deposit however she is still doing very bad in comparison and she’s actually getting worse by the day. Does anyone have any tips dealing with hard water? Is there anyway I can flush it out of her system without overring or having to repot? #planthelp #sickplants #PlantAddict #RarePlants . Unfortunately I have work for the rest of the weekend so any outside care I probably won’t be able to provide for her.

Please help. What does my little plant need? The leaves are starting to brown on the ends. #PurpleShamrocks

Safest route to divide my root bound Shamrock? Hoping to split and gift a portion of Rocky to a friend!
