Oxalis Triangularis

Size: 12cm nursery pot

The ever so stunning Brazilian weed that is now one of the most popular houseplants. Also known as Japanese shamrock because of the triangular three leaves in deep violet that fold up at night and open during the day. This eye-catching plant is also complimented by dainty and delicate trumpet shaped pink flowers on slender stems. 

NOTE: This plant goes dormant over winter. But don’t worry, let her drop her leaves naturally and during spring she will come back again. 

☀️- She will prefer bright, indirect light due to their colour and variegation. Avoid direct sunlight as this will fade the leaves and they won’t open and close as usual.

💧- Oxalis prefers to dry out between watering and is ever so forgiving. Don’t let the plant stay dry for too long or sit in soggy soil.

🌡️- Optimum temperatures are 18-24°C, but will do well in temperatures as low as 10°C.

🪴- Once the roots start to pop out from drainage holes, it is time to repot your plant. This will also allow you to propagate and create more plants from the tubulars. Best time to do this is during Spring/Summer with a rich soil mix and good drainage. 

🐾- Toxic to pets.
