The leaves are triangular and typically grow in groups of three. At night (or on particularly cloudy days) they fold up almost like an umbrella, but they open up again with the morning light. The plant bears tiny flowers that are a white to pale pink or lavender color.
Mature Size: 0.5–1 ft. tall, 1–2 ft. wide
Lighting: This plant grows well in full sun to partial shade.
Watering: Water to maintain an even amount of soil moisture. established plants have some drought tolerance and are forgiving if you forget to water.
Tip: Shamrock plants may go dormant if the soil is allowed to dry out or if it's exposed to too much hot, direct sun. If this happens, reduce watering, stop fertilizing, and keep the plant cool. When the leaves die back, cut them off. When your plant starts growing again, resume normal care and you'll have a mound of new, green foliage in just a few weeks.
