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.

Great quality Cabin and air filter bundle pack. Very solid quality.
Size: 18-22 1.5L, Size: 18-22 1.5L
First off, I like that it's a combo pack instead of me having to buy each one individually and being able to change both at the same time. Now, I must say the quality of both of them is fantastic; I'm really impressed. It's not made out of cheap junk; it feels solid and seems like it will do a good job filtering out all the debris and dirt. It was extremely easy to install and fit perfectly like an OEM air filter and cabin air filter on my Honda Accord. The cabin air filter is definitely a solid piece, and you don't have to worry about it getting crushed or deforming as it's padded, I would assume the reason for the padding on the side of the cabin air filter is that no debris or dust sneaks through which gives it a snug fit which is very smart honestly. The same applies to the air filter that goes under the hood; it definitely feels like a quality piece. A quality filter definitely keeps outside odors and smells from coming inside the cabin, allowing you to get fresh, clean air when you turn your AC on. Overall, definitely a solid purchase, and I will definitely be back to buy this exact bundle pack in the future as it's well-built and fits like a glove. So, you're definitely getting great value for your money with this specific engine and cabin air filter combo pack. There are a lot of garbage ones out there, so if it were flimsy and felt like a cheap filter, I would be giving this one or two stars. But I'm actually quite impressed with this company, and it seems to be doing a fine job. My AC does work better after installing these new filters, and of course, the car runs better with the air filter installed.

Good Fit & Quality
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This set which includes both the engine and cabit air filters are of good quality and fits my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid well. The engine filter feels sturdy and well built. The cabin filter, although without charcoal infusion, has many folds which is more important when it comes to effective filtering of particles. The installation was easy and for the set, this set offers a good value.
