Oxalis Triangularis, also known as the Purple Shamrock or False Shamrock, is a beautifully decorative houseplant that’s prized for its vivid purple leaves and unusual movement. A native of Brazil’s tropical forests, this easy-care plant brings something a little magical to your indoor space — with leaves that open by day and close at night.

This compact, rhizomatous perennial features delicate, triangular leaves made up of three heart-shaped leaflets. Each leaf reacts to light, folding up at night and reopening in the morning — a natural behaviour called nyctinasty. It’s a true conversation starter.

Our Oxalis Triangularis comes in a nursery pot sized W11cm x H15cm, making it perfect for shelves, side tables, or grouped displays.

Native habitat and growth patterns
In the wild, Oxalis grows on the forest floor in warm, bright, filtered light. Indoors, it prefers a well-drained soil mix rich in organic matter and does best in bright, indirect light. It may occasionally flower with delicate pale pink or white bell-shaped blooms.

Seasonal dormancy — don’t panic!
Oxalis Triangularis naturally goes dormant, often in late summer or winter. Leaves will die back — but this is part of its life cycle, not a sign of trouble.
Here’s what to do:

  • Stop watering and allow the leaves to die back

  • Keep the pot in a cool, dry spot

  • Wait for signs of new growth, then resume watering and place it in a bright location

Styling ideas

  • Display in ceramic or terracotta pots for contrast with the foliage

  • Use in trailing shelves or as a centrepiece in a grouping

  • Pairs beautifully with other colourful foliage plants like Calatheas or Marantas

Oxalis Triangularis care guide

Light requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid intense midday sun but don’t keep it in deep shade.

Watering:
Water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Use a pot with drainage and a standard premium indoor potting mix. Avoid letting the plant sit in water.

Feeding:
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a gentle, organic fertiliser. We recommend our Original Vegan Plant Food, made from seaweed and natural extracts — perfect for delicate foliage plants like Oxalis.

Pet safety:
Oxalis can be toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s best to place it out of reach of curious cats or dogs.

Propagation:
Easy to propagate via rhizome division. Just separate the small bulbs and replant in fresh soil — a great way to multiply your collection.

Why choose this plant?

  • Unique movement — leaves close at night!

  • Beautiful purple foliage

  • Low-maintenance and suitable for beginners

FAQs

It’s likely going dormant. Reduce watering, let the leaves die back naturally, and wait for fresh growth.

Can I keep it in a hanging pot?
Yes, but it’s naturally compact — better suited for tabletop or shelf display.

Soft, lightweight golf shirt
Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium
I got this for my husband who occasionally golfs with work buddies as of recently. This golf shirt was perfect for him because it’s soft and the thinness helps with sweat and keeping it cool which is necessary where we live. The color is great and matches with most of his other shirts. It feels like a nice quality shirt while also being very lightweight. I’m sure if he was into wearing polos regularly, he would probably were it all the time. The size we got fit great and washing it was easy. Overall this is a great lightweight polo for being active.

It's more than golf shirt.
Color: Grey, Size: Large
This shirt is great for summer, beach, casual wear and outdoor activities. It's cool to touch and dry quick. The only thing you should be aware is that if you are on the plus size, the shirt does stick to your body sometimes and it does not compliment your body type well.

Soft and Easy Care
Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium, Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium
This is a great lightweight and moisture wicking golf shirt. The color is pretty and it has a UPF rating of 30+. The fabric has a soft, luxurious feel and the fit is true to size. The snaps fasten easily and are of good quality. This shirt washed up easily with no need for ironing. A nice shirt at a great price!

Almost perfection
Color: Khaki, Size: XX-Large
I have really liked this polo the fit is great material is so lightweight and breathable Chef's kiss. the one thing i didn't like is the white accent parts are like heat applied and peeled off after 2 washes it doesn't do anything to the polo but still a little disappointing i just peeled the rest of them off so quality leaves a little bit to be desired there. i wish they didn't include them and it would be 5/5 for me but if after 4 or 5 wears and 2 washes it peels off that is a little disappointing

This Shirt Is So Cozy My Husband Loves It — Perfect Fit and Style!
Color: Turquoise, Size: X-Large
I recently picked up the Alex Vando Men’s Golf Shirt, and I have to say, it has quickly become one of my husband’s favorites in his wardrobe. From the moment he tried it on, he raved about how soft and comfortable it feels. The material is lightweight and breathable, yet it doesn’t feel flimsy — it strikes the perfect balance for both everyday wear and active use. The moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties are a game-changer. He’s worn it for golf, casual outings, and even on warmer days, and it keeps him cool and dry without sticking uncomfortably. The UPF30+ is an added bonus for sunny days outside, giving some extra peace of mind during golf or tennis sessions. What I really love — and what he notices — is the attention to detail. The 3D checkered texture gives the shirt a subtle, sophisticated look that feels premium. The color-matched snap buttons are secure and easy to use, and the fine line detailing along the placket adds a touch of depth. The side panels and slit hem make movement easy, so he doesn’t feel restricted during activities. It’s clear this shirt is designed with both style and performance in mind. Fit-wise, it’s fantastic. It flatters his physique without feeling tight, giving a clean, streamlined look. He’s worn other golf polos before that were either too stiff or too loose, but this one hits the sweet spot perfectly. Another huge plus is the practicality. This shirt is wrinkle-resistant and washes beautifully, requiring no ironing. That makes it perfect for busy days when he wants to look sharp without extra effort. Overall, the Alex Vando Men’s Golf Shirt is a winner. It’s stylish enough for business casual, functional enough for sports, and incredibly comfortable for everyday wear. My husband loves it, and I’ve already noticed him reaching for it again and again. If you’re looking for a high-quality, versatile polo that combines comfort, style, and performance, this is absolutely worth trying.
