Oxalis Iron Cross (False Shamrock)

Overview

  • Distinctive green and purple, clover-shaped leaves
  • Foliage opens with light and folds closed at night
  • Easy-care tuberous perennial
  • Adds vivid color and movement to indoor collections

Oxalis Iron Cross, commonly called False Shamrock, is prized for its dramatic, clover-shaped leaves in deep green and purple hues, each leaflet folding down like butterfly wings at dusk. Its delicate white or light pink blooms rise above the foliage, adding a gentle contrast. At BoDurtha’s, we love this plant for its sculptural color and dynamic daily movements.

Origins

Native to Brazil, this species grows from small tubers in partial shade, often carpeting forest floors with its bold purple foliage.

Light Requirements

Bright, indirect light keeps foliage vibrant.

  • Too much direct sun may scorch delicate leaves
  • Low light results in leggy, sparse growth
  • Best near an east-facing window or bright northern exposure

Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

  • Overwatering can rot tubers—ensure soil is never soggy
  • Drooping leaves may indicate underwatering or dormancy initiation
  • Allow plant to go dormant if it begins to decline; reduce watering and resume when new growth appears

Soil & Potting

Use a light, well-draining potting mix.

  • Aroid Mix is suitable, though standard indoor potting mix with perlite works as well
  • Pots must have drainage holes to prevent tuber rot
  • Shallow pots are ideal due to the plant’s small root system

Fertilizer

Feed monthly during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

  • Do not fertilize during dormancy

Recommended Growth Style: Freeform

Oxalis triangularis is best grown freeform to display its foliage movement and flowering habit.

  • No staking or vertical support required
  • Looks beautiful clustered in groups or as a colorful accent among green foliage plants

Final Notes

Oxalis triangularis is a graceful, low-maintenance plant that adds movement and vivid color to any space. Its daily opening and closing provide a gentle rhythm to your environment. At BoDurtha’s, we celebrate its ephemeral charm and encourage letting it rest during dormancy to keep it thriving for years to come.

Amazingly Tough!
Style: Whale
This is one of our pup’s favorite toys, so much so that we always have a couple around. So far, our very-active, very destructive, deaf mixed-breed puppy has only managed to destroy one. And it was the plushie that failed, not the mechanism. Only reason I subtracted a star is that I’ve gotten a couple where the sensitivity is set WAY too high, as in, maybe it’s cosmic rays, setting it off? But other than that, great toy for a dog with high prey-drive.

Durable tug toy that our pitbull absolutely loves
As soon as I pulled this toy out, our pitty saw it and immediately wanted to play. Tug is her absolute favorite thing to do, and she is crazy about this one. She constantly looks for anyone willing to play with her. That makes me really appreciate the grip loops because they keep our hands comfortable during the tug sessions making it easy to play with her. Our house is also run by an 8 lb Chihuahua who is definitely the alpha. Believe it or not, our big pitty is scared of the little dog and just lets her steal the toy away. She just patiently waits and grabs it back the second the Chihuahua loses interest. The size is great as both dogs can get good bites on it for secure hold. We have had it for a month now, and it is holding up perfectly without any real damage. Best of all, our she still enjoys it just as much as she did on day one. I really like that it is made in the USA from BPA and latex-free materials. It cleans up easily in the dishwasher and even floats when we take it down to the ponds. --- For anyone interested, the exact product I purchased was listed as: Wagalicious, Tuggfinity, Lime The ASIN for the version I received was:

Fun Toy for Large Dogs, but Hard to Grab from Flat Surfaces
I gave this to a large dog to see how it would hold up during play. He really enjoys it and stays engaged with it, especially during active play sessions. The material feels durable enough to handle a bigger dog’s strength. It’s bright and easy to spot, which helps when playing outdoors. It’s clearly designed for interactive play. One thing I noticed is that it can be a little difficult for him to pick up off the ground. The shape doesn’t give much to grab onto when it’s lying flat. Once he gets it, he enjoys it, but getting started can take a second. It’s still a fun toy, just something to keep in mind. Works best when tossed or handed to them.
