#oxalistriangularispurple

Oxalis Triangularis is another attractive plant I’m sure you gonna love! 💜 Not only it got this beautiful intense purple colour, but it also does a daily day-and-night dance for you 🕺 It’s so much fun to watch! ⁣ 🌞 When it senses sunlight it opens its leaves up towards it looking like 3 winged butterflies on sticks. ⁣ ⛅️ Throughout a day it would follow the light source from window to window. ⁣ 🌜At nighttime it closes its leaves down and forms a shape of skinny purple mushrooms. ⁣ The picture above have been taken towards the evening, you can see most leaves started to go down. . . . . . #oxalis #oxalistriangularis #oxalistriangularispurple #oxalisobsessed #oxalislover #purpleplant #plants #plantlove #plantlover #plantsmakepeoplehappy #livingwithplants #allthingsbotanical #houseplantcommunity #plantfocus #plantparenthood #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #plantfriends #urbanjungle #indoorplants #magicgarden #floristrywithstyle #floristinbedford #flowershop #plantshop #florist #bedford #bedfordshire #bedfordflorist #botanicalpickmeup (at Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7enr5HuHm/?igshid=1nbckawcsjyuo

Today’s #oneadayplant is for my Dad, Tom, who started growing Oxalis triangularis subsp. papilionacea (Purple False Shamrock) recently and is now obsessed with it! . On the cusp of hardiness, but really more reliably grown as a houseplant in the UK. This subspecies of the South American species is marginally hardier than O. triangularis. Regardless, if you choose to grow it outdoors in the UK, expect it to not come back unless in the mildest spots. . Makes a good houseplant though given a reasonably bright spot. Typically will go through a period of dormancy and die back to its tuberous rhizomes (which look like bulbs). This will happen in winter if outdoors and typically for indoor plants when light levels drop. Other than regular watering, the only maintenance required is to give it a haircut every year to encourage fresh regrowth. Gets to approx 45cm tall and wide (18”). . I like it for a few reasons. 1. It flowers very freely with minimal input. 2. The foliage colour is great. 3. The foliage goes to sleep at night folding up (my Dad’s favourite quality). 4. Its foliage is edible either raw or cooked. (Only consume small amounts, perhaps as a colourful addition to a salad). If you eat a lot of it it will likely cause digestive discomfort or worse... (Never eat anything that you cannot positively identify and do not know well - If in doubt, DON’T, should always be your approach.) . #oxalis #oxalistriangularis #oxalistriangularispurple #purple #shamrock #falseshamrock #pink #flowers #purple #leaves #formydad #edible #salad #saladleaf #iplantsman #sensitivefoliage #foliage #bulbous #rhizome #houseplant #indoorplant #southamerica #halfhardy #frosttender #gardeningadvice #indoorgarden #indoorgardening (at Wormit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEOmI_FgRGu/?igshid=mju2atvghlbr

This #oxalistriangularispurple leaf was getting top heavy so I cut it off and placed it in water to see if I could root it, after seeing @plant_joy successfully do this for one of her leaves. Glad the experiment worked! 💜 #oxalistriangularis #leafpropagation #waterpropagation #propagation #houseplants (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BycfUU6ghHL/?igshid=1fwh89cj3aagp

#Repost @plantandwander with @get_repost ・・・ Last year I let my Purple Oxalis hibernate for December and half of January because it was looking tired. But this year it still seems to be doing well, so I might let it carry on growing through this winter. 💜💜💜 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #plantlove #purpleoxalis #oxalistriangularispurple #plantdecor #greenterior #livingwithplants #myplantlovinghome #urbanjunglebloggers #jungalow #jungalowstyle #thenewbohemians #bohohome #bohodecor #bohostyle #showmeyourboho #bohoismyjam #crashbangcolour #bohoinspiration #bohemiandecor #globalhomedecor #globalhome #thrifteddecor #originmagazine #boldbohemians https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7nZaQgpq_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c41fwi1gf8rq
