How do we transplant shamrock plants?
You will want to fill just enough soil into your new container to bring the level of the plant to where you want it when you place the plant into it. Try not to disturb the root zone too much. The plant should retain the shape of the old container. Just fill in around this taking care not to cover the crown of the plant. It is important to get it to roughly the same level as the plant was planted before.

I have an oxalis that has a very special meaning to me. It is about 25 years old. It started getting white spots on it after I repotted it a few years ago. I have been using neem oil on it but have not been religious about it and the spots return. I live in No. Idaho, so no sun here for most of the winter. Can I move to dark closet and water minimally for the winter and hope for the best when the sun returns? Or should I be vigilant with the neem oil and hope for the best? It is in a window that gets light for several hours a day....
They do like a dormancy every now and then. I will include a link at the end for more information.
Now, as for the powdery mildew... There are many effective ways to control this. Neem oil is not always the most effective, but it works most of the time. I recommend using other oils as well. Garlic oil, rosemary oil, and cinnamon oil are very good methods for controlling these infection. Mix a half teaspoon into a spray bottle of water, and spray as often as you need.

I have my Shamrock plant in my office with mostly florescent lighting. My plant has really dwindled in the last month one or two shoots come up but die off when another shoot comes up. Could it be in its dormant stage right now or is there something else wrong? I read in the article they go dormant during the summer, but being it's inside I figured it wouldn't know when it is summer so going dormant now.
Even if it is an indoor plant, they will still require a dormancy. You can create this yourself by watering less, and exposing the plant to cooler temperatures and less light.

I have several different Shamrock plants in pots. They seem to get some sort of small white eggs, it looks like on the bottom of the leaves some times & then the leaves start to become damaged. Is there a spray or some type of control for this? Thank you.
This sounds like spidermites. Have you noticed any webbing? You can get rid of this by spraying neem oil. There are many other things that can also work. This link will take you to a collection of article that will give you some more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/
I have a potted shamrock plant that has grown WAY bigger than 6"! It is about 2' across at the top - no exagerating! I have repotted it twice already, and would like to split it to give part to my daughter. Can I just cut or rip the roots or is there another way I need to split them so I don't kill the plant?
These like to have a dormancy each year. They will either die completely or just stop growing for a little while. This is the time to divide this. You don't really have to be careful. This can be an invasive species in some areas, so the risk of killing it is very low.
When you go to split it up, wet the soil, and take it out of the pot. Cut the tops off leaving any tiny new growth. Then rip them into segments. Plant these in their own pots, and you are good to go. It is important to always work with soil when it is slightly moist. It will make things much easier.
As an added bonus, the leaves make a wonderful addition to salads. They have a flavor that is similar to green grapes. A litle sour but a little sweet.

I just purchased a small oxalis plant. It is flowering now. How often do I water it?
When the top of the soil is almost completely dry. This plant can tolerate a wide range of conditions, but it doesn't like wet soil for very long.
