Oxalis Iron Cross (False Shamrock)

Overview

  • Distinctive green and purple, clover-shaped leaves
  • Foliage opens with light and folds closed at night
  • Easy-care tuberous perennial
  • Adds vivid color and movement to indoor collections

Oxalis Iron Cross, commonly called False Shamrock, is prized for its dramatic, clover-shaped leaves in deep green and purple hues, each leaflet folding down like butterfly wings at dusk. Its delicate white or light pink blooms rise above the foliage, adding a gentle contrast. At BoDurtha’s, we love this plant for its sculptural color and dynamic daily movements.

Origins

Native to Brazil, this species grows from small tubers in partial shade, often carpeting forest floors with its bold purple foliage.

Light Requirements

Bright, indirect light keeps foliage vibrant.

  • Too much direct sun may scorch delicate leaves
  • Low light results in leggy, sparse growth
  • Best near an east-facing window or bright northern exposure

Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

  • Overwatering can rot tubers—ensure soil is never soggy
  • Drooping leaves may indicate underwatering or dormancy initiation
  • Allow plant to go dormant if it begins to decline; reduce watering and resume when new growth appears

Soil & Potting

Use a light, well-draining potting mix.

  • Aroid Mix is suitable, though standard indoor potting mix with perlite works as well
  • Pots must have drainage holes to prevent tuber rot
  • Shallow pots are ideal due to the plant’s small root system

Fertilizer

Feed monthly during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

  • Do not fertilize during dormancy

Recommended Growth Style: Freeform

Oxalis triangularis is best grown freeform to display its foliage movement and flowering habit.

  • No staking or vertical support required
  • Looks beautiful clustered in groups or as a colorful accent among green foliage plants

Final Notes

Oxalis triangularis is a graceful, low-maintenance plant that adds movement and vivid color to any space. Its daily opening and closing provide a gentle rhythm to your environment. At BoDurtha’s, we celebrate its ephemeral charm and encourage letting it rest during dormancy to keep it thriving for years to come.

Great tug toy!
Color: Green
A bunch of other toys we got our puppy barely made it a week. But this one has been great. She loves the tug aspect of it. I love that it’s long enough that it’s harder for her to grab my hand by mistake- those puppy teeth are brutal! Overall great toy!

My German Shepard's favorite toy.
Color: Green
Really hope this one last as it's my GS most favorite toy so far. I've bought 6 so far. They just don't last. But it's for my little furry girl and it makes her so happy to play with/

NO DONT BUY FALLS APART
Color: Green, Color: Green
Don't buy this toy . It didn't last 5 minutes. Before the rope part unraveled. Nothing really holds it together. No workmanship or pride taken in its assembly. Not durable in any sense . Buy some else. Read the 3, 2 and 1 reviews
