Mine are in a window that gets morning sun and diffused light the rest of the day. The browning leaves may mean yours is getting a little too much direct sun.

It is still producing a lot of new sprouts and blooming. I have it outside getting as much sun as possible in my mostly part-sun balcony. There have also been some plants plagued with powdery mold that I’ve been treating at first w/ a filtered cinnamon/rubbing alcohol mix and finally bought Captain Jack Neem Oil that has made it onto the leaves. I water it when the top soil looks dry and it’s working, so far. I also recently replanted it into a bigger pot w/ miracle gro potting soil that Sammy the Shamrock is loving! What am I doing wrong? And- Can it contract powdery mold?KitKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15641622859603106898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948490333265237249.post-37731467309189583062021-07-28T14:35:06.800-04:002021-07-28T14:35:06.800-04:00It’s not poisonous to cats either, but it’ll never...It’s not poisonous to cats either, but it’ll never have leaves if you let your fur ball have easy access to it!😂CMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550098160846228490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948490333265237249.post-61738119821020685952021-03-16T15:38:47.912-04:002021-03-16T15:38:47.912-04:00Ugh!

It may be something as simple as needing some water. I'd try giving it some warm water, then let it settle in. I've purchased herbs from the grocery, thought they'd die and they've come back beautifully. I'm a firm believer that plants sometimes need to settle. Shamrock plants are a bulb, so it may just need to rest. It may look bad for a while and then come back. You'd be surprised how resilient they can be. Good luck!Pam Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098228114064124640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948490333265237249.post-28221800986126443342021-03-13T12:44:41.126-05:002021-03-13T12:44:41.126-05:00My friend just gave me a shamrock plant yesterday....My friend just gave me a shamrock plant yesterday.
