Oxalis Triangularis 4"

Looking for a unique and eye-catching plant to add to your collection? Consider the Oxalis triangularis, also known as the false shamrock or love plant. This charming plant is native to Brazil and has become a popular houseplant due to its unique triangular leaves and beautiful purple or green 

The plant produces small, delicate white or pink flowers that bloom in the spring and summer.

The Oxalis triangularis is a bulbous plant, meaning it grows from a bulb rather than seeds.

Now, let's talk about how to care for your Oxalis triangularis:

Light: These plants prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water: Water your Oxalis triangularis when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can cause the bulbs to rot.

Soil: These plants prefer a well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter.

Fertilizer: Feed your Oxalis triangularis once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer.

Repotting: Repot your Oxalis triangularis every 1-2 years, or when it outgrows its pot. Use a pot that's only slightly larger than the current one, and be sure to use fresh soil.

Getting your Oxalis triangularis to bloom:

The Oxalis triangularis will produce flowers naturally in the spring and summer. However, there are a few things you can do to encourage blooming:

- Provide bright, indirect light.

- Keep the plant in a slightly cooler location (around 60-65°F/15-18°C) at night.

- Do not overwater. Wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering.

Overall, the Oxalis triangularis is a unique and beautiful plant that's easy to care for and will add a pop of color to any indoor space.
