How to take care of Oxalis Triangularis

Sun: Direct & Indirect

Oxalis Triangularis enjoys some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.

Light: Bright

Oxalis Triangularis will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Oxalis Triangularis needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Any

Oxalis Triangularis can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Pet Caution

Oxalis Triangularis is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

About Oxalis Triangularis

Common Name: Purple Shamrock, False Shamrock, Love Plant, Wood Sorrel

Origin: Brazil

Plant Story

Introducing the Oxalis Triangularis, also known as the Purple Shamrock, a captivating and dynamic houseplant celebrated for its strikingly vibrant, triangular leaves that close at night and reopen with daylight. This plant is not only a visual delight with its deep purple, almost velvety foliage but also a symbol of responsiveness and adaptability.

The Purple Shamrock features unique, butterfly-like leaves that add an instant touch of intrigue and charm to any space. The rich purple hue of the leaves is contrasted by delicate pink flowers that occasionally bloom, providing a soft complement to the dramatic foliage.

To care for your Oxalis Triangularis, place it in bright, indirect light. Although it enjoys the light, direct sunlight can be too harsh, so a little shade is beneficial. This plant’s daily opening and closing in response to light symbolize awareness and responsiveness, reminding us of the importance of being attuned to our environments.

Watering should be moderate. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but keep it consistently moist during active growth periods. The Oxalis Triangularis goes dormant periodically, usually in late fall to winter. During dormancy, reduce watering significantly, which teaches us the value of rest and renewal.

The Purple Shamrock is known for its ability to multiply, spreading to fill its pot with lush, vibrant growth. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of nature's resilience and beauty to their home or office.

Welcome the Oxalis Triangularis into your home, and let it enchant you with its dynamic beauty and life-affirming characteristics. It’s not just a plant; it’s a vibrant reminder of nature’s cyclicality, the beauty of adaptation, and the joys of watching responsiveness in action.
