The Purple Shamrock or Butterfly Flowers (Oxalis Triangularis)

The Purple Shamrock (Oxalis Triangularis)

Purple shamrock is triangular in shape due to the triangular shaped leaves with a characteristic of light purple rose in a dark purple color.

Deep maroon leaves are trifoliate, such as species in the clover genus Trifolium commonly called shamrock, hence the name "false shamrock". Flowers with five petals, white or light pink, also close at night.

With its stunning and eye-catching purple foliage, Oxalis Triangularis or Purple Shamrock is definitely kept indoors as the star of the show. Provided appropriate indoor growing conditions, it will give you strong growth and color throughout the season. 

How To Care Purple Shamrock

The best-growing indoor temperatures for purple shamrock are approximately between 59° F to 74° F. When the temperature inside the house becomes too hot, the foliage will wilt. During the winter when indoor conditions can become hot due to artificial heating, make sure the plant is not sitting next to the heating vent.

For best growth, keep your purple shamrock in an indoor location that receives bright light. If the indoor lighting conditions are very low, the plant growth will not be strong and will tend to result.

Best fertilizers for Oxalis Triangularis :

Just use only : Mustard cake and Cow dung cake.

I would recommend these two fertilizers for each and every types of tree because these are the best organic fertilizers.

Just water the trees every day and then just keep watching the magic.
