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.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Great for Everyday Wear
Size: 11, Color: Grey
The Marc Joseph New York Men’s Edison Street shoes are a standout — stylish enough for work or a night out, but comfortable enough for daily wear. The hands-free technology makes them easy to slip on and off without sacrificing fit or support. They have a polished, classic look that pairs well with both casual and dressier outfits, and the comfort level stayed high even after a full day on my feet. Good quality, flattering design, and a versatile choice if you want shoes that look sharp and feel great. Would recommend and buy again.

Just Slip On & Go
Size: 13, Color: Black/Black
These are honestly one of the easiest shoes I’ve owned. You just step in and go, no laces to deal with, but they still have that lace look which I like. I’ve had them for close to a year and they’ve held up well. Comfortable enough for everyday use. I liked them enough and got a few different versions of the same shoe. The elastic fit is what makes them stand out. If you want something simple, comfortable, and still a little dressy, these are solid.
