How To Care For Oxalis Triangularis | Purple Shamrock Plant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2020
- The Oxalis Triangularis, otherwise known as the false shamrock plant, is an incredible purple houseplant which has some really cool characteristics.
In this video I’m going to be talking about how to care for Oxalis, propagation techniques and how I fertilise my large Oxalis plant. I personally find these an easy indoor plant and I’ve even included at least one plant timelapse so you can see how these colourful plants grow. Stick around until the end to see some more Oxalis you can look for in your next plant haul.
If you’ve got any other useful plant care tips for these incredible houseplants please leave them in the comments!

My grandma had one of these that she grew for years and years. It was huge, much bigger then yours. And they had seperated it off into other pots off the mother plant and have been sold at our local plant stand. When she passed away my grandpa seperated her plant up and gave some to anyone in the family that wanted it. I'm the only one that still has theirs alive. Aside from my grandpa and the mother plant. Which is crazy because I don't have a green thumb. It's one of the only plants I have managed to not kill. Ive had it outside and it seems to enjoy our weather out here in Washington. I've had it outside for almost 2 years now. I've had it for about 6 years total. I actually plan on separating some of mine off and actually bringing some to her grave site and leaving a pot of it for her since it was one of her favorites, now that I know it does so well outside.
That’s absolutely amazing and a lovely story! I’d put a corn or two under the ground at her grave, that way it’d stay there forever but not sure on laws where you are. Absolutely love that her plant has brought so many people so much joy! 💕
omg I love this story ❤ I love the sentiment of having a family members plant, or part of it, a propagation...and growing your own plant from it. it's this sense of the energy and love your loved one put into growing the plant before gifting it to you, and then you carry that on. ❤ my family also has done this
Lovely idea for taking the plant to Grandma's grave site.
You just sitting there at the beginning chilling with your enormous beast of an oxalis is such a wholesome image! :) I can NOT get over how huge it is!!
Ahaha it’s not something I do massively often but it was nice to get it out of its spot and enjoy it up close 🌿
Hello
Thats me, their huge !! I love them !!
Hello Mary
@@melissabean8144 Hello Melissa
Literally purchased my first Oxalis and I’m so happy. I’ve always loved this plant 🪴 simply because it looks like a bunch of butterflies 🦋.
You’ll love it even more when owning one- they’re even more beautiful in person!
This is one of the most informative video about oxalis I have ever watched. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
That's probably the healthiest oxalis I've ever seen. 🍀☘🌱
Thank you!
I finally found a straggly little oxalis in the clearance bin at my local nursery and immediately got it. So excited about caring for it, so it can become nice and bushy!
How’s it look now? I just bought a scraggly one today
This video was exactly what I needed. My plant has about 20 stems on it and I'm trying to get it bushy like yours. 😍 Thank you for sharing all that information. I learned so much. The time lapse was very interesting.
You’re welcome! Glad it could help!
Great job describing all I need to know about my oxalis! Mine has been chugging along quite nicely without my knowing much but now I can prepare for it's dormancy without panic! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
You’re welcome! Glad it could be helpful!
I have just bought my plant. I love it n now watching your video want the others you introduced. You answered all my present questions. Thankyou
Glad it helped! Let me know if you get any of the other varieties I mentioned!
Such a beautiful big bush of a plant, you have grown it so well. I love those geometric leaves.
Thank you! They’re super willing to grow so I can’t take all the credit 😂
Never knew there were different varieties. Thank you!
Your oxalis is absolutely stunning
There are loads of different varieties that I haven’t included too- all really beautiful! Thank you!
I love my oxalis plant. 🥰 My first one this year. And this video was very helpful for me❣️Thank you❗️😌☘️
Glad I could help!
Wow... Never ever seen this much busy.... Wow u r taking good care of that big bush. Lovely.
They’re very easy plants once you get the hang of them
This is one of my favorite plants! Thanks for the info! I tried to propagate by cutting, but the stem I tried was maybe 6 inches so I’ll have to try again with a shorter stem! I’m excited for more of your videos!
Make sure it’s a healthy part of the plant you’re trying to propagate and not in direct sun until it’s rooted and potted up 🙂
My friend from work and I recently planted bulbs that she ordered online. Checking on potential growth gives us reason to want to go to work!
Love this!
9:45 This happens With me many times. We all know this, being a plant lover we just love to be with them! Pure Happiness 😊
Very helpful presentation and great delivery. I love your houseplant collection behind.
Thank you 😊 you can see the collection behind in my tour if you want to see more 🌱
Very very beautiful ,
what a wonderful job , so very informative, it's the most informative video I've seen yet on these. I will be passing it along thank you so much!
Thank you!
This was brilliant Florence, thanks so much!
Glad it could help!
Purple Shamrock ☘️ is a love ❤ of my garden 🪴
Cheers 🥂 to the shamrock !
Been struggling with mine for almost a year and just learned through your video that I’m not watering it enough. I can’t wait to hydrate it and coax it into a beautiful bunch! Thank you.
So glad the video helped! Let me know how you get on 🙂
Hi…how are you doing??
Hi thank you sm for this video, i found it useful! i'm a new plant parent and oxalis plant is my first official plant i want to try take care of. I really hope i'll be successful in doing so. my love for plants is slowly growing. Thank you again! God blesss x
I'm so glad I could help you out! Keep me updated for how you get on 🌿 If you have any other questions feel free to comment back here or message me on Instagram 🙂
All your plants are gorgeous. 🥰
Wow I’ve seen it on your Instagram before but didn’t realise it was THIS big! Time lapse was so cool 😱
It’s a beast!
Was given one by a freind. They told me it was a higher maintenance plant and I was worried I killed it when it went dormant this evening. Very informative, thank you!
Omg she’s so big! Mine is so tiny & new. I love her. I’m scared 😮 I won’t do her right but that’s why I’m here
I like your teaching style! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
thanks for the great info!!
What a great tutorial with substantial information! 👍🏼 I bought 5 bulbs and getting ready to plant them. Hopefully mine will look as beautiful as yours. Time will tell.
Ah best of luck! You’ll do great! Keep me updated!
Hi
I remember seeing this on your houseplant tour! Im obsessed.
Aha! It’s getting a bit too big for our space so I have no idea where it’s going to go next year
Beautiful plant. Yours is the dreamiest and bounciest one I’ve seen here in youtube.
Ahhh thank you 😂
Beautiful huge Oxalis plant pot you had
Thanks!
A new neighbor just gave me a small oxalis like yours. And some bulbs. I hope it grows as lovely as yours!
Are they sprouting yet?
Just got a couple of these, great useful advice for the UK thanks x
Let me know how they grow for you! Glad my video could be of some help 🙂
So helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I love mine, got it as a bulb from a friend of a friend and it's never-ending. Just split it today, it was so pot bound I eventually cut the pot off with a pair of scissors and now have about 10 babies. It's so easy to grow! And the way it folds up at night is so fascinating.
They’re great plants! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it and it’s grown well for you 🌱
@@FlorenceOzkan I forgot to say, these babies will be going to friends, and I'll be sure to send them a link to this video so they know what the end result is. The timelapse is brilliant! Thank you so much!
God, it's such a bloody beast! Mine is proper low level growth on its 5th year now (mainly because I'm struggling with a north facing window haha) but it is one of the few plants I have no problem putting directly into a planter with no drainage 👀👀👀👀
Also, you just ID's a pest plant growing in one of my prop boxes as another oxalis so that's hella dope!
As soon as you get it into better light it’ll go ape! I’ve found that with a lot of my bulb plants that like to be moist, so good to know that oxalis is in that group too. Which is the pest one?
I have one :) I got from a friend. This was helpful for me :) Mine looks tight and nice now. Had it for about 5 years.
Hello Anne
How are you doing???
@@eriknoah8377 Thanks, I'm fine :) 🌷🐞🦎
@@anne-lenebakken5827 Figured out lately I can communicate with people here as I watch ads and comedies
Hello Anne
Omg yours is HUGE..wow I'm jealous! Great tips, thanks so much! The timelapse is amazing, those leaves move 😍
It’s a bit scary how much it’s grown! A bit worried that I won’t have the room for it if it gets any bigger. I might have to move to accommodate 😂
Floss Little Flat 😂😂 not a bad problem to have!
Hey
How was your night??
Just bought one today. Awesome plant
How’s it going with it?
Brilliant video, I have the same plant, you have given me great tips, many thanks,

Beautiful triangular thanks for sharing
Thank you! You're welcome!
Nice presentation...beautiful plant...my favorite 🍁🍁🌸
Thank you! Hope you found it useful 🌱
Awesome video! Full of wonderful information and a STUNNING oxalis! Mine is outside in Sacramento California and pretty large as well.
Hello
I’d love to grow it outside!
Happy 1k subscribers.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much !!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Woohoo, I just got one today. I had no idea they go dormant though :O Thank you for sharing the info on them!
Let me know how it grows for you 🌱 They’re such great plants- enjoy!
@@FlorenceOzkan Thank you so much! I just love the colour!
@@FlorenceOzkan Thank you! Well, I only got 1 "flower" left, from the 8 that the plant initially had. I wasn't sure what was the cause, but I am watering this last one more often and it's still up, so I believe the others wilted because of underwatering :( And I am now wondering if I should leave the pot as it is, or if I should take out the remaining bulbs and put them in a different pot...
They are the best, I have them in the ground they are so hardy I live in utah and every yr they come back with no issue except that they grew more and more every spring!
I love them in the ground- I am a bit worried they’re such vigorous growers though so not sure about planting mine out 🙈
Great info, thank you!
You’re welcome! I hope it was useful!
Yeah you are right , great info ......by the way nice meeting you on here I hope you are having a wonderful time out there?????????
Thank you.
Thanks for your tutorial allabout Oxalis Triangularis, I have one too.
Glad it could help! They’re brilliant plants!
Just came across your video because I've really wanted to get my hands on some oxalis bulbs trying to swap cuttings on fb! So thought I'd prepare and get some care tips! Yours is bloody amazing though 😍
Best of luck! Even a cutting if you can do it without posting will give you a full plant in a few months 🌿
@@FlorenceOzkan Yeah, I was suprised to hear that actually when you mentioned it in your video! I didn't realise it could be propagated that way! they look so fragile! Thank you!
I’d just avoid it being posted as it might shrivel too much!
Nice bush!! Lol, come on you new that was coming before you shot the video im sure.😅 But seriously very nice plant that was in the beginning.
There are two Oxalis that grow wild here in Queensland Australia, one has a slightly different leaf but the other has the same 'Butterfly' leaf although it is green, with a pink flower. I have bought the same purple leaf one which I planted outside, and now, winter/spring it has lost it leaves, but I can see they are starting to come back. This video has been very informative, thank you Floss Little Flat.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful! I’d love to see some photos of them in your garden- I’m planning on planting some and seeing how they fare in the U.K. in summer
Hello Floss Little Flat. Here is a pic of the Oxalis that grows wild here in Qld. The plant app says its an Oxalis Latifolia, with the common name, woodsorrel, or fake shamrock. I'm sure you know all this. I will attempt to download the pics of the ones I have.
Sorry, I can't download the pics.
Thanks for the great video! I used to have one and threw it away convinced it had died on me but maybe it was just dormant! :O Really want to give it another go - they are gorgeous!
Ahhh that’s such a shame- you’ll have to get another 😂
@@FlorenceOzkan Definitely!
Hello susana
Beautiful
Thank you!
Thank you
I just love these plants!
I appreciate your video
I learned I’m giving to much sun and not enough water 💦

Hello Wendy
Wow! beautifulfly plants like you.very nice!

Meravigliosa💚
I wish mine was this full!
Thanks!
Thank you!
It looks like a dozen bulbs in a 10" pot? I'm in Arizona and will have it in an east window that gets full sun in the morning through 11am. In Arizona Oxalis and Creeping Wood sorrel are considered invasive in an outdoor garden. They send runners close to the soil and they are very hard to control. I've also been told that the seeds "burst" if you don't catch them in time, making control of these quite difficult. BUT, oxalis indoors is a splendid display.
I have major plant 🌱 envy after watching this! 😂💜
If you’ve got a small oxalis, give it a year and it’ll be the same size as mine!
Floss Little Flat After searching high and low for this plant at local nurseries and big box stores with no luck I ordered some bulbs. I’m excited to see how this goes but you are giving me major motivation and a wealth of useful information. Thank you!
You’ll do great! Just rinse them in slightly warm water and water their soil with the same before planting 🙂 let me know how you get on!
Floss Little Flat 🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you I most definitely will 😁
@@FlorenceOzkan ... just dipping in on this conversation. You said rinse them... and water their soil with slightly warm water. Do tell me more about this! I don't believe I've ever watered mine with slightly warm water.
I was unaware that this type of plant dad's off in the winter I think I bought mine around January and it's now April. I have lost about half of the plant because of the stems drying up and me having to pluck them away. at first I had to realize that too much sun for this plant will damage the delicate leaves so some of the die-off may have been due to that. I'm just not sure what to do at this point to get it to thrive I think I'm going to have to try some fertilizer water like you did otherwise if it doesn't do well I may have to go in and find the bulbs and start over if anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it. one thing I have noticed as well is that it does better with less watering if I overwatered it all the leaves would droop down but when I let it dry out and not water it as much the leaves per cup it also seems to do better in a shady place in my home
How big was your pot when you bought it? and how big is the pot in the video?
WOW WOW WOW.... I want my one like this...... PLZ plz plz give me step by step your techniques to grow this beauty like this wonderful. Salute to u. Love.
😂 all of the techniques that have worked for me I’ve listed in the video!
@@FlorenceOzkan How many bulbs u put? And which month to which month it become like this?
I think I say in the video: planted in March. I started off with only a handful of bulbs last year and accidentally broke some when digging them up so ended up with some more than that but obviously smaller. They tend to look a bit tired after a six months or so, but you can chop the leaves down and start again if you like
Hey @Florence Ozkan , thanks for making this great video. I love this plant personally.
One note- at 7:15 the oxalis triangularis is not edible. It is toxic for house pets like dogs and cats. Please do not eat it and be please careful when making edible recommendations. Otherwise great job!
My shamrock plant was growing in a pot with a mother in law tongue so I separated it now it’s struggling to open and close properly what show I do ?
Great informative video thank you, and such a beautiful large plant!
I just got a plant from my mom, it is a Schefflera tree and it has these purple oxalis growing inside the pot as well. I repotted into a larger pot and found a lot of these bulbs stuck tightly in its root system. IS it ok to keep them together in the pot? Or will they multiply quickly and take over all the space in the new pot and leave no space for the roots of the tree to grow? The tree repotting has been long overdue. I am worried I wont be able to actually take out these bulbs due to them being so prominent and stuck within the tight tree ball.
I really appreciate any help as I have been looking around for an answer but have been unable to find it.
The oxalis roots are super thin and hair like, the corns obviously multiply and therefore take up space but I really wouldn’t worry! There are lots of plants that can be used as under planters. Check out ‘Legends of Monstera, Collector-Seller Series’ here on RUclips, if I remember correctly they have some beautiful examples of underplanting in pots! My mum also underplants using oxalis, tradescantia, sedum and other smaller plants in larger plants soil, so I honestly think it’s fine! The only thing I would say if you’re wanting to get rid of the oxalis from your schefflera pot is to unpot, remove as much soil as possible- you can be fairly rough with the roots- and get them out that way!
ive got onw of these guys, thinking ill need to repot to a better draining soil, and up the watering and light, its growing fine but for sure very leggy and bare looking. for sure need to encourage some more growth. tho i didnt know they needed to go to sleep, ive missed that period now, but now that im aware ill have to cut it back and maybe place it in the hall closet (weirdly it has a small window but stays very cold)
You might get away with just chopping back if it’s only just coming into summer growing season where you’re based, but I’d be wary of repotting if you’re fully in growing season, obviously up to you. They’re tough little plants!
Sweet
An excellent video, thanks. Do you think they would grow outside in a rockery? (In the south of England).
Thank you 🙂 I'm not actually sure, I know people grow them outside in warmer climates but I'm definitely going to give it a go when we get a garden!
I absolutely love the size of your Oxalis and I would very much like to get mine to the same stage also, the trouble with mine is the stems - I have about 15 stems (along with purple petals) in a pot and the stems just look lifeless, they don't stand upright like yours, what is the trick to get them to stand up?
As the summer draws to a close the stems do tend to droop as they're getting ready to go into dormancy. The more light the better, rotate the pot every time you water and maybe open the window or get a fan on them to strengthen them up a bit. Mine did not look like this last year, but allowing it to go dormant I think is the trick to get them to beef out next year.
Should water it from the top or bottom?
Hello! Just bought one of this today. How do i disinfect the plant? Will it wilt if i spray neem oil all over? Thank you! Love your videos!
Oh great! To be honest I’ve never had any pest problems but I think it you were to spray and it deteriorated, you can always chop down all the foliage and wait for new growth!
I bought mine as bulbs 4 weeks agoand for 2 weeks nothing happened.Then hey presto I moved then to my bedroom on a shelf above a radiator,they have shot up and point towards my double doors of my conservetory. My question is will they not go dormant if I keep them in this position during the winter? I have noticed now that once they get about 6 inches tall they then lean over and a new shoot appears at the base of each of the leaning stem. I am totally won over by them. Thank so mudh for introducing me to them.
They might do, they might now! But as they’ve only just woken up they might go dormant a bit later than usual. So glad you’ve found a love for these beautiful plants
Stunning plant! Do you water when the plant goes dormant?
No, leave it dry until spring!
Wow !she is so beautiful
Hi, amazing. I've just bought this plant it's now in a 6inch plastic pot. Do I keep in this and when do I need to repot into bigger one. Thanks for any advice as I'm just getting started with my house plant collection. 😊
I’d keep it in the same pot as it’s in now- the shock of repotting tends to send them into dormancy. If you don’t like the pot it’s currently in try a cover pot and at the beginning of spring next year when it’s due to come out of dormancy, repot then. Hope that helps!
@@FlorenceOzkan thank you so much x
thank you for this info. I acquired a plant that looks like this from my Mom this week. It was outside so I think it got too cold. The leaves are mostly green with a little purplish on the back side of the leaves. They have the same small lavender flowers. Can you tell me why they are green and not purple? The plant does not look healthy so I am hoping that once I follow your input for lighting and watering it will become more healthy. thanks
You’re welcome! It’ll be a great addition to your home. So in answer to your question, there are many different types of oxalis so you have two options:
1: your oxalis is a more green variety with purple undersides to the leaves
2: from the move and cold weather it has gone into shock and might be going into dormancy, in which case a lot of the nutrients are being pulled from the leaves and back to the corns. This causes a green/yellow colouration on the leaves and I believe this could be the case.
If it goes dormant, leave it for a month or so before trying to wake it up and just make sure to fertilise in the growing period. Best of luck and let me know how it goes!
💜💜💜
🙂🌿
Thats massive, love it, how many bulbs have you planted in the pot?
I think it started out with around 7-14 corns.. I can't actually remember!
@@FlorenceOzkan Thanks Floss, I planted 15 bulbs in a 20 inch pot, they started sprouting after 10 days. I love watching the progression each day, so magical. Thanks x
I have been growing these successfully for a few years now, regularly dividing and giving away. I always grow them outdoors and overwinter them in a cold greenhouse. In recent weeks two massive ones have succumbed to a fungus and completely collapsed and I think there is no alternative than to bin them and start again. I guess they are probably not so susceptible to this when grown in doors.
I’ve not struggled with fungus personally, but wonder whether taking out the bulbs and storing them for a few months might help?
Thanks for this helpful video. I have masses of Oxalis triangular is, which I let go dormant this year for the first time. Now I am repotting and refreshing the soil. Can you tell me what you think is the BEST DEPTH to have the bulbs? I Feel they do better planted reasonably deep (about 6” or more) but I would like to make a spectacular display in containers like Victorian serving bowls, which are not as deep as flower pots, and would mean they are not in removable plastic pos, but straight into the China. What do you think?
Thanks - my name is Sarah!
You're welcome! I normally plant them around 3-6 inches deep. Just make sure that if you water heavily the bulbs won't rise out of the soil! You could always try the china serving bowls with a corn or two and that way if it works you can repot more into them next year!
Seu oxalis está maravilhoso, me diz como vc consegue deixá-lo dessa forma?
What else would I do to it?
Thank you for this very helpful video-I understood that this plant is toxic to pets though it is edible. Is my understanding correct? Do you know if it is toxic to wildlife?
You’re welcome! So in large quantities it is toxic to cats, dogs and horses because of its soluble calcium oxalates. From what I’ve read the bitter taste will put animals off and therefore if they munch on one leaf they should be fine but if they eat the whole plant in one sitting then you’ve got something to worry about. These are safe to ingest in small quantities for humans (hence using them as garnish for salads) but again if eaten in huge quantities you might struggle with symptoms.
Keep ours on window sill all year round and , never put fertiliser on it and it has been growing for years .
My plant is dropping over the edges of the pot in stead of standing up,do you think I need a taller pot,and how much water should I give it
This doesn’t always mean the plant is unhappy, some leaves do drop over time!
awesome nice and easy to follow,also being from England it is a perfect guide for me
Thank you 😊
Did you say that you cut all.of yours back? So there's nothing? And you leave it till it wakes up in spring? If I've been under watering should I sort the watering before cutting back? I'm in Scotland and had my small plant at a north facing window which I realise isn't the best place for it now. There's maybe about 15 stems and leggy
I do! I’d pull back on watering now and let it go dormant, next spring it’ll come alive and hopefully bigger! If your plant only has 15 stems then I’d leave them until they’re dry and crispy until you cut it back so that way all the energy can go back into the corns. Hope that helps!
Hello Heather
Ive had mine now for a couple years . I never paid attention to it much other than to water it . Its now winter in jan. Should I cut it off and put it away now even if it doest appear to be dyeing back ? Mine looks close to yours when you first got it . What should I do now to get it to grow bigger like your
You can force dormancy if you think it’ll help!
Hey Renee
Long time,reply me with an email
I thought my oxalis died, oh good it s just in dormant state:)
Just water it with warm water and put it in a warm sunny place!
Very informative video. I just bought some bulbs online and I wanted to ask for advice on how many bulbs you think I can put in a 6” pot? Thank you.
Thank you- hope it was useful! I think you can probably get away with about 8 in a 6” pot, but it depends how large they are
@@FlorenceOzkan Yes, it was very helpful. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to pot them.
Great! Keep me updated as to how you get on!
Hello Florence
How are you doing??
How long does it take for an oxalis triangularis to revive after repotting? Mine’s gone all droppy :(
It really depends. They don’t like their roots/corns being disturbed and can go into dormancy. So if you feel the leaves won’t prop back up again I’d chop them down and water them when the soil dries out with slightly warmer than room temperature water. Let me know how you get on!
Watching
Guessing you are no longer active on here but will try anyway. I have had my oxalis 3 years and it seems happy. Dies back each year and comes again but never really gets any bigger. I feed occasionally. I want a big healthy plant like yours. The only thing I think it may be is that my house it quite a cold house and it is in a nw facing window. Could that be the reason ?
I think it’s probably not performing it’s best because it sounds like it needs brighter light, more warmth and feed
They took over the whole side of my house, I just leave them in the ground all winter and the rhizomes just spread on there own. I’m in zone 9 morning sun to early afternoon and it’s hot 🥵 this is a tough plant.
Hey, there! I was searching the internet tonight for information to help me understand why my oxalis grows with long and lanky, winding stems. It is indoors and most of our office plants seem to love the light in the office which we leave on 24/7. She's called "charmed wine" Oxalis and looks exactly like yours. I've had her for a year and unfortunately she didn't fair too well when I tried to divide her in two when I first purchased her. She's had some good and bad days, but overall, I think she's simply struggled. I've not seen her put out a pretty flower in almost a year now... despite adding the fertilizer sticks. Last week, I decided to cut her back to just three of her strongest stems/leaves and she's already put out about 10 stems/leaves, but again... no flowers to be seen. Any advise is appreciated! Thank you! j'lynn
The later in the growing season the longer they will get. I’d try to give it direct natural sun rather than grow lights and maybe try to put a fan in the room (close by) to strengthen the stems
@@FlorenceOzkan hello! me again... I did exactly as you recommended and took mine into a window and she's gone from a wimpy 10 stems/leaves... to well over 30 and I have seen my first flower in over a year. Thanks for your help!!! I'm so glad I ran across your video. in Appreciation, j'lynn
That’s such great news! Happy I could help and you’ve seen some flowers!
