Native to the warm tropical climates of South America, the Oxalis is a perennial plant and has over 800 species! The Oxalis traiangularis 'Green/Francis' is the one most commonly cultivated as a houseplant, followed by the tetraphylla 'Iron Cross'. It is also known as a wood sorrel or a false shamrock, because of its trifoliate leaf shape. Oxalis do best in warm and sunny conditions. During the wintertime, most oxalis kept as houseplants will be through a semi-dormant phase if not receiving enough light. But come spring, they’ll bounce back in all their glory. Fun fact - they raise and lower their leaves from day to night as a part of their circadian rhythm!

Sun: Direct & Indirect

Thrives in bright indirect light and can take some bright direct light, too. It can handle a few hours of direct sun.

Light: Bright

The minimum light requirement for them is 0 - 3 feet away from the nearest light source. A good bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window. They love lots of light and can take a sun bath for a few hours, too.

Water: Every 1 - 2 weeks

Water every 1 - 2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Increase frequency with increased light.

Humidity: Low

They can live in any humidity condition.

Care Tips

When you water, rotate the pot so the opposite side faces the window to ensure that the foliage grows evenly on all sides.
