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.

Fun while it lasts…
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
Fun while it lasts. Doesn’t last very long. This is our third one and last maybe a few weeks. The part that makes noise comes detached inside which causes to toy to no longer make noise, but also can be dangerous if it comes out.

Great alternative to the grunting pigs!
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
We go through A LOT of dog toys at my dog based business. The grunting pigs are super cute, but they are also super fragile. It is incredibly easy to dislodge the squeaker. (Grunter?) These are certainly not robust chew toys, but the squeaker is about 30% better at staying put than that of the pigs. It's also smaller, so it's easier for the smaller dogs to play with. These are a new favorite! Update: August, 2024 I bought an orange hedgehog. Amazon won't let me review that separately so I had to add to my sheep review. The orange hedgehog is only 3 stars. It is made of a harder plastic than the bear and the sheep. It also has a standard squeaker, not the grunting of the bear and sheep. But harder plastic DOES NOT mean that it will withstand an aggressive chewer! If your dog likes to "kill the squeaker" they will be able to do so in minutes! This IS NOT a chew toy! If you are looking for a toy for an aggressive chewer, look at the Orbeez line from Outward Hound. The other thing that makes me less enthusiastic about the orange hedgehog is that the yellow paint started flaking off immediately. I will have to scrub it all off because it looks terrible! The dogs don't care, but their owners sure do! I haven't had that problem with the sheep or the bears. The orange hedgehog is almost like it's from a completely different company!

Great find for my dog!
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
This is a Big squeaking toy And has become a favorite of my dog. He is a big chewer but he won’t chew at this one he just carries it around and plays catch with it. I believe the little spikes keeps him from heavy chewing on it! Great find for us! But it is a loud squeak!
