The Oxalis Triangularis, commonly known as the Purple Shamrock, is a stunning and unique houseplant with deep purple, triangular leaves that fold up at night and reopen in the morning. This plant brings a bold pop of color to any indoor space and is easy to care for, making it a favorite among plant lovers.

Key Features:

✔ Striking purple foliage with a delicate, butterfly-like shape
✔ Moves with light—leaves open during the day and close at night
✔ Produces delicate pink or white flowers when happy
✔ Low-maintenance and adaptable

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Low light may cause leggy growth.

• Water: Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Oxalis has delicate tuberous roots.

• Humidity: Tolerates normal household humidity but thrives in slightly higher levels.

• Temperature: Prefers 15-25°C. Protect from frost, as it's sensitive to cold temperatures.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite for aeration.

• Feeding: Fertilize once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Dormancy: May enter a dormant phase where leaves die back—reduce watering and resume when new growth appears.

• Propagation: Easily propagated by dividing the bulbs/tubers and replanting them.

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.

With its vibrant purple leaves and charming movement, the Oxalis Triangularis is a mesmerizing and easy-to-care-for houseplant that adds a dynamic touch to any space! 💜✨
