How do you get shamrocks to root & grow more plants?

We have a shamrock plant %26amp; would like to have more than one plant, so I would like to know how to take a clipping %26amp; get it to root.

How do you get shamrocks to root %26amp; grow more plants?
If you are asking about the shamrock fern, then what we do is to separate it at the root. ie uproot the plant (gently, mind you) and then cut it up (usually into quarters) and it will continue growing. Be sure to inspect the growing points of the roots first. They take a little while but they are worth it!





Also to get them to grow, I first set it in moist soil which actually a little bit of Selaginella on it - that helped.. but I also rooted some withou the Selaginella - just plain dirt and a little fertilizer when I remember.





Have fun!
