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.

Perfect & light weight divider
Color: Charcoal Gray, Size: 8 Panel
I really like this divider. I have it in my bedroom which is also where my "work from home office" is. The divider blocks my bedroom and dresser perfectly. It's very light weight and very easy to move.

Room Divider
Color: Beige, Size: 8 Panel
I received my 8 panel folding divider and realized that I probably should have just ordered the 6 panel one. But it is nice and sturdy and was already put together. I am very pleased with the product.

Stable, solid, and versatile!
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel-176'' Wide, Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel-176'' Wide
Exceeded my expectations. Easy, but tedious to assemble. That said, it’s solid, well made, and will last. You can stand it up in a straight line without concern it will fall over. No need to fold it like an accordion for stability. Helped me separate my garage gym from the kids bikes, shelving, paint, tools, and typical garage stuff.

Privacy with a dual purpose.
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel-132'' Wide
While temporarily staying with family or friends, this portable wall offers some privacy and separation of personal space. It is easy to assemble and adjusts to different sizes by ordering different numbers of panels. While it provides a wall on one side, it serves as a place to add a little design and color to the inner space, as it is strong enough to hang a small quilt using clamps on the top rails. It also serves as a great hat rack for my husband’s many ball caps. I plan to continue to use it as a room decider, and to hide stored items from view. It truly makes the most of a small space.
