Oxalis triangularis ‘Mijke’, commonly known as the Purple Shamrock or False Shamrock, is an elegant ornamental plant native to South America. A member of the Oxalidaceae family, this variety is admired for its rich, velvety purple foliage and delicate pale pink or white flowers.

The ‘Mijke’ cultivar is a refined selection known for its particularly deep, vibrant colouration and compact growth. The plant features distinctive triangular, clover-like leaves that fold closed at night or during low light — a fascinating movement known as nyctinasty. By day, the leaves open wide to reveal their satiny texture and jewel-like tones, creating a dynamic and ever-changing display.

In spring and summer, slender stems rise above the foliage, bearing clusters of soft pink blooms that contrast beautifully with the dark purple leaves. Compact and easy to grow, Oxalis triangularis ‘Mijke’ makes an ideal choice for windowsills, tabletops, and containers, bringing a touch of sophistication to any setting.


Oxalis triangularis ‘Mijke’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate gentle morning or late-afternoon sun, which enhances the rich purple leaf colour. Avoid harsh midday sunlight, which can fade or scorch the foliage.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist during the growing season. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter when the plant becomes dormant and leaves naturally die back.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C. Avoid temperatures below 10°C, especially during dormancy.

  • Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity levels.

Soil and Potting

Use a light, free-draining peat-free compost. Adding perlite or grit improves drainage. Repot every 2–3 years in spring, separating the small tubers (rhizomes) if you wish to propagate new plants.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser. Stop feeding during the dormant winter period.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove faded flowers and old leaves at the base to keep the plant tidy. If the plant enters dormancy and loses all its leaves, reduce watering completely and store in a cool, dry place until new shoots appear (usually after 6–8 weeks).

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing, compact plant reaching 15–25 cm tall and wide. With proper care, it will regrow each year from its tubers.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Pale foliage: Too little light.

  • Leaves closing in daylight: Sign of stress, such as overwatering or temperature changes.

  • Pests: Occasionally aphids or spider mites.

Background and Benefits

Oxalis triangularis is native to Brazil and other parts of South America and has long been prized for its beauty and movement. The ‘Mijke’ variety is particularly valued for its darker, more uniform purple foliage. Compact, hardy, and endlessly elegant, it adds a graceful, decorative touch to indoor spaces and patios alike.

Very sturdy and well worth the price!
Color: Black
First, my chair arrived faster than I expected! It was delivered in a well packed box and everything was plainly marked! It assembled very easily as per the instructions. The only thing I would recommend is to have another person available to assist with the installation of the back rest onto the chair. It gets kind of cumbersome for one person, although I did it myself… another tip start all screws before tightening, especially with the arms and the back rest cushion! It only took me about 25–30 minutes to do the whole thing by myself.. The materials are of good quality, very sturdy and I really like the dual casters as they glide on the floor really nice! Well, worth the price!!! Mike P

My best office chair!
Color: Black
I haven't really given a lot of reviews before. But that said I weighed 260 at 6 ft 3 in. I have to admit this is a pretty comfortable chair! It was easy to put together, and my legs don't go to sleep anymore sitting in an office chair The lumbar support is really good. I'm just glad I was able to find this chair, and about my son another one and it'll be here Friday! You can't go wrong with this chair! I love it so far!

while big and wide seat....
Color: Black
while big and wide seat is nice this chair has just seemed off since i got it, it seems like it only reclines part way and it feels like it is leaning forward in normal sitting position and one of the wheels fell off the mini ball bearings fell out of the swivel part of the wheel and left the wheel unstable only to fall off. while the actual seat of this chair is big and wide (not so comfy) the mount seems off and cant recline all the way back like in old chairs, the wheel thing suck but i can replace a wheel could have been much higher quality for what i paid for the chair. UPDATE: over the past few weeks customer service reached out to me about the chair and fully addressed all of my concerns, to my surprise they offered to replace the chair at no cost to me. The new chair is much better than the old one everything seems good to go and i got upgraded wheels that dont have that same type of ball bearing, so i dont think these wheels will be an issue. Thanks to the customer support member Luka that reached out to me and made everything correct.
