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.

Feels like a luxury product
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
the consistency and lasting hydration of this product is fantastic! I use it year-round because it is very moisturizing, but it is especially great in the summer when I don't want something heavy or greasy on my skin. The scent is a little perfumey, but it is subtle and I actually think it is very pleasant and not overpowering

Smells awful
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This smells awful. Like dead roses. I find it does make skin smoother however it does leave a sticky residue that lasts.

Amazing facial sunscreen
Color: Tinted
The tinted Anthelios is my go to sunscreen for summer. The problem with most facial sunscreens is that they feel like a heavy cream and they leave a ghastly whitish color. Anthelios is different. It is light, easy to apply, and dries quickly to a soft matte finish. There is no white cast, no discernible “sunscreen odor”. It softens facial imperfections without the weigh down of makeup. Anthelios doesn’t clog your pores or settle into lines. It just leaves a natural fresh look. My skin but bettter. I’ve purchased it multiple times and will continue to use Anthelios. Buy it - you won’t be disappointed by this one.

Lightweight, Flawless Coverage & Reliable Sun Protection A Daily Must-Have!
Color: Tinted
I’ve been using this sunscreen for a few weeks now, and overall I’m very impressed. The texture is extremely lightweight and fluid, which makes it easy to apply evenly without feeling or greasy on the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, matte finish that works well under makeup.
