Every year, my husband saves the nodules of the Irish Shamrock flowers and brings them in just before the first hard frost. he separates, cleans and stores them in peat moss to overwinter in our spare room This year once again he way more nodules than he needs.
At the beginning of Spring, he brings them outside to remove all the peat moss. as you can see in the picture, he uses a sieve. it's messy work but well worth it. for quite some years we display three flower pots of these Shamrocks underneath our kitchen overhang to enjoy once they start sprouting and later blooming.
The nodules multiply over the summer and over the years we've given many of them away. my neighbor has too many already and declined the offer. so Hans went across the street and offered some to a young couple and the lady was delighted to have them.
I enclosed a picture of a Purple Irish Shamrock which I kept for the first time ever indoors all winter in front of our bay window where it get's the afternoon sun.
A wonderful illustrative propagation instructions - I have a plant in the conservatory - and stays in leaf all year . The pot I have outside I just pull off some of the chromes and replant - but I do love the care that your husband gives these plants in ensuring new healthy plants !
@gijsje Thanks for thinking of me bep. I like this collage of getting them ready bruni and I am so thankful mine just grow and come up year after year without all this trouble
