How to Select Healthy False Shamrock？

When purchasing false shamrock, examine the leaves for a rich, vibrant color and ensure there are no yellowing or browning edges. Check for any signs of pests like webbing or tiny insects under the leaves. The stems should be sturdy and the plant should exhibit overall vigor, without any signs of wilting. Additionally, the soil should be moist but not waterlogged, as overly dry or soggy soil can indicate improper care.
