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.

FAQs

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

Packaged in aWrinkled Ball and Bad Sizing
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I've tried 3 of these suits, 2 different sizes, and each one fits differently. Each one has also been crinkled up and wrinkled each time I opened it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was returned and sent right back out without inspection. Other reviews noted order a size up. I have a size 34 waist and normally order Large, so I ordered an XL. XL barely can be zippered up. So I returned it. Ordered and XXL. XXL is about 6 inches way too big and took 2 weeks to arrive. So I order and XL again, and once again, way too small, but still bigger than the first.. There is no tag on the pants, only the jacket, so I think someone screwed up the sizing or matching the jacket with the pants. Total waste of time with 3 returns. Label your products right and get your sizing chart right. There should not be an 8 inch difference between XL and XXL. Got another trip out to UPS, thanks...

Hubby looks good in it!
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This suit is very nice! But it doesn’t have the pockets we were expecting. The left chest pocket is sewn shut along with the outside pockets. It doesn’t have 1 or 2 pockets inside the jacket. Hubby looks good in it!

Great quality, we could've sized up.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This suit was absolutely stunning! My son looked amazing in it for homecoming. With him being 6'4", the length was perfect, but it was a but too snug in his thighs, as he is a muscular athlete, and he was a bit worried sitting down in it!😂 Nonetheless, it held up well for my huge Samoan baby, and he got many compliments on it. We also found a bow tie to match it perfectly with the same pattern.

Jackets made too small and too tight
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
My son is 6'2" & 185 lbs and normally wears a 36 in pants. Site recommends a large, but I ordered an xxl based off the reviews. It was way too big in pants and jacket! I then ordered the large and the xl to be on the safe side because prom was fastly approaching. The large was too small! The xl was okay, but not perfect. Somehow it seems they need a suit size in between the xl and xxl, leading me to think they were just sewn wrong. The pants were extra long (good thing for us), they had to be hemmed. He did need a belt, but not by much. He was able to bend and sit with the pants on. The jacket however still runs small in my opinion. It is too tight in the arms, making it difficult to move. It is also on the short side in sleeves and length. It definitely shows when raising your arms. We chose this suit because we THOUGHT it was the pattern of his date's prom dress; turns out it wasn't. But it matched the vest we bought perfectly. This suit is made of a thin silky material and it runs small. And the pockets ARE useable. You just need to find the starter hole and remove the thread (if closed). I would recommend buying a different suit unless you order it bigger and have the time and money to alter it. Oh, and it will take a while to get a refund. Suits ship to you fast, but goes back slow. You gotta wait til the company receive the item, then still wait for the refund.

Great suit for a great price
Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy
Bought this for a wedding. Ordered a size larger and it fit perfectly. High quality fabric and it looked great. Got a lot of compliments. Would definitely buy again. Great value. It's nice that you don't have to spend a lot for a suit of this quality and style.
