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.

FAQs

Is Oxalis Triangularis easy to care for?

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

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.

Let this restoration kit light up your life
Size: 1 Kit
I have a car that is 24 years old and is my daily driver.  Understandably, the headlight lenses have deteriorated to the point where I was using my brights exclusively at night yet never being flashed to turn them down.  I got quotes between 60-80 dollars per headlight for restoration which I just wasn't willing to pay so I decided on this kit to try restoring them myself.  I read reviews before I ever make a decision on a product and noticed many reviewers of other products stated that this product works better so I went ahead and purchased it.  Man, am I glad I did!!!   The kit arrived late this afternoon, I opened it, READ AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS and within 1 1/2 hours had turned a travesty into a triumph.  I started by taping around both lights with 1 inch blue painters tape to protect the paint around the lights.  The kit comes with everything necessary to remove most moderate deterioration but be sure to purchase one that corresponds with your actual situation.  I believe my lenses were far beyond "moderate" but with some heavy elbow grease, the correct use of both supplied sanding disks and my hose set on "mist" I was able to sand off years of damage leaving behind a smooth, albeit opaque surface.  After making sure everything was totally dry using both towels and my leaf blower, I was ready for the Magic!!!  I opened the first clearcoat package (while wearing the provided glove) and lightly but steadily applied the liquid with the supplied towelette and the required 50% overlapping passes.  The opaque lenses instantly turned clear upon contact with the clearcoat.  After waiting around 25 minutes to be sure the lenses were completely dry I opened the second package of clearcoat and applied it in the same manner as the first.  I had no misses or problems with my first coat but for those who do...NOW is the time to make corrections, NOT during the first coat process.  Leave things to dry for around an hour and you are done. The end result?  AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, UNBELIEVABLE...shall I go on???  Not necessary, but I can say I am thrilled with the outcome.  My wife said the lights look new and I agree, there is a night and day difference between before and after. Only time will tell how long the restoration lasts but for now I am very very happy with the results I got from this 3M product.  I highly recommend it to anybody who can read, understand and follow the instructions.  5 stars all the way on this one!!!
