Oxalis Triangularis, also known as the Purple Shamrock or False Shamrock, is a beautifully decorative houseplant that’s prized for its vivid purple leaves and unusual movement. A native of Brazil’s tropical forests, this easy-care plant brings something a little magical to your indoor space — with leaves that open by day and close at night.

This compact, rhizomatous perennial features delicate, triangular leaves made up of three heart-shaped leaflets. Each leaf reacts to light, folding up at night and reopening in the morning — a natural behaviour called nyctinasty. It’s a true conversation starter.

Our Oxalis Triangularis comes in a nursery pot sized W11cm x H15cm, making it perfect for shelves, side tables, or grouped displays.

Native habitat and growth patterns
In the wild, Oxalis grows on the forest floor in warm, bright, filtered light. Indoors, it prefers a well-drained soil mix rich in organic matter and does best in bright, indirect light. It may occasionally flower with delicate pale pink or white bell-shaped blooms.

Seasonal dormancy — don’t panic!
Oxalis Triangularis naturally goes dormant, often in late summer or winter. Leaves will die back — but this is part of its life cycle, not a sign of trouble.
Here’s what to do:

  • Stop watering and allow the leaves to die back

  • Keep the pot in a cool, dry spot

  • Wait for signs of new growth, then resume watering and place it in a bright location

Styling ideas

  • Display in ceramic or terracotta pots for contrast with the foliage

  • Use in trailing shelves or as a centrepiece in a grouping

  • Pairs beautifully with other colourful foliage plants like Calatheas or Marantas

Oxalis Triangularis care guide

Light requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid intense midday sun but don’t keep it in deep shade.

Watering:
Water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Use a pot with drainage and a standard premium indoor potting mix. Avoid letting the plant sit in water.

Feeding:
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a gentle, organic fertiliser. We recommend our Original Vegan Plant Food, made from seaweed and natural extracts — perfect for delicate foliage plants like Oxalis.

Pet safety:
Oxalis can be toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s best to place it out of reach of curious cats or dogs.

Propagation:
Easy to propagate via rhizome division. Just separate the small bulbs and replant in fresh soil — a great way to multiply your collection.

Why choose this plant?

  • Unique movement — leaves close at night!

  • Beautiful purple foliage

  • Low-maintenance and suitable for beginners

  • Naturally compact and perfect for styling

  • A brilliant gift or conversation piece

FAQs

Is Oxalis Triangularis easy to care for?
Yes — it’s low-maintenance and suitable for all plant lovers, including beginners.

Why is my Oxalis dying back?
It’s likely going dormant. Reduce watering, let the leaves die back naturally, and wait for fresh growth.

Does it flower?
Yes, it sometimes produces tiny bell-shaped flowers — though it’s mainly grown for the foliage.

Can I keep it in a hanging pot?
Yes, but it’s naturally compact — better suited for tabletop or shelf display.

Perfect if you're anything like me
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
I have about 20 small jewelry boxes sitting in my closet, stacked up high, threatening to topple over any time I reach over them to grab something else. I don't know what's in those boxes, except that it's jewelry I purchased and liked well enough to keep so that I could wear it again. But since all of the pieces are closed up inside, I almost never wear them because I don't want to dig through all 20 boxes to find the 1 thing I want when I'm already almost late to wherever I'm going. If ANY of that sounds anything like you, you need this jewelry box. Is it the most premium thing you've ever seen? No, but does it have a lot of storage space for a pretty compact form factor and hold a ton of stuff? Yes, it totally does. And is the price super reasonable? Yes, it is. And if you kind of squint at it, and look through softer eyes, it doesn't really matter that yes, this is kind of cheaply constructed, and the dividers do move around a little bit because they're not anchored to the sides of the trays. I was able to consolidate all of those jewelry boxes down into this one box, and I no longer need to hold my breath when I try to grab something over the top of the pile because I was able to throw. them. all. out! The satisfaction of purging my own personal leaning tower of Pisa was worth the price alone. But onto the nitty gritty details: yes, the see-through part is acrylic and not glass. I'm okay with that because I don't need more breakable things sitting in my closet. Yes, the dividers aren't super stable. I'm okay with that because they work well enough and keep each piece where it belongs. Yes, it's pleather (aka "vegan leather"). I'm okay with that because I don't need cow hide to hold my jewelry to make it feel more precious, especially because most of my jewelry is pretty inexpensive stuff anyways. I don't notice any glaring cosmetic defects when looking at it, aside from the one very squiggly scratch in my acrylic top that doesn't bother me too much, but since it does mean that quality control may be a bit lacking, this gets a very solid 4 stars.

Elegant Jewelry Box
Color: Pink, Size: 2 Layer, Color: Pink, Size: 2 Layer
Very stylish and elegant jewelry box suitable for your jewelry needs. I needed something for my extensive jewelry collection. I use this for my everyday jewelry, and it works perfectly. I chose the two-tier jewelry box, and I love how sturdy it is. You can put a lot in the box without it being overcrowded. The blush color gives it a soft look, but also the compartments on the inside are soft as well. It is of good quality and a value for what you get.

Pretty jewelry box
Color: Pink, Size: 2 Layer, Color: Pink, Size: 2 Layer
I really like this jewelry box. It is a great size and can fit lots of pieces. The box is also chic and a beautiful pink color. It also seems to be well made. The only thing I don’t love about it is the lack of variety in the compartment size. The compartments are large or small squares, if there were long rectangular compartments they would be more ideal for necklaces. Overall this jewelry box works well and is worth the cost.

Nice jewelry box
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer, Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
This is a very nice jewelry box. It has two drawers with lots of compartments and can hold a lot of jewelry. I love that it is easy to see inside the compartments and will make it so easy to organize my jewelry. It doesn’t take up much space and looks great on the dresser. I highly recommend this jewelry box!

Excellent organizer
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
I wanted something to help me with the jewelry I keep in our safe and this works perfectly. I had kept items in their individual boxes, having to open each one to find what I sought. No more. I keep my more popular items in the top tray and I can see them through the glass. Next order items are in the lower drawer and easy to see many at once. The compact size lets it sit in the same form factor on the shelf in the safe. I’m very pleased with it.
