Finding light for Green Shamrock in your home

Green Shamrock love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Green Shamrock does not tolerate low-light 🚫.

How to fertilize Green Shamrock
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 Green Shamrock after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Does anyone know what is going on with my shamrock plant? I have it next to a window that gets bright sun through most of the day now that it’s summer. (This is westward facing.) He had needed a grow light this winter, but I’ve turned it off. He’s been in the same pot for over 2 years. I use a water meter when watering. I have not fertilized. #GreenShamrock #Shamrock

I am@obsessed with the green shamrock my@mom gave my for St. Patty’s. Her name is Siobhan. I’ve never cared for one before and apparently they go dormant during the summer. Anyone have any experience with that ?

Should i remove some of the Root Ball?! went to freshen up rocky’s soil to find his roots like this! His growth has only been focused on 1/2 of the pot so i was expecting to repot in the same home he came from. I havent been able to free much soil than what I have shown in the photos. i

Soil type Just got a green shamrock plant in the mail today, Google says a loose sandy soil is best. What brands would be the best choice. Also if you could also let me know what kind of pots work best for this plant as well. Thank you
