- Features butterfly-shaped purple leaves
- Blooms pink or white summer flowers
- Thrives in cooler temperatures
Oxalis triangularis, also known as the Brazilian Butterfly, is a captivating plant with delicate, triangular green leaves that resemble fluttering butterflies. This unique species adds charm to any space with its graceful foliage and soft sprays of white or pale pink trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer. At night, the leaves close like butterfly wings, reopening in daylight. Perfect for a cool room, conservatory, or shaded outdoor area, this plant is a beautiful and low-maintenance addition to your garden or indoor collection. This frost-tender, deciduous plant thrives in moisture-retentive yet well-draining soil, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor growing. During the growing season, it can be placed outdoors in a shady spot once the risk of frost has passed. In winter, it naturally dies back to its tuberous rhizome, requiring minimal care until the next growing season. Oxalis triangularis is an elegant choice for anyone seeking to add a touch of botanical beauty to their home or garden. How to Grow Instructions: Light: Prefers indirect sunlight or partial shade. Temperature: Ideal in cool environments; avoid frost exposure. Watering: Water moderately during the growing season; keep barely moist in winter. Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season. Humidity: Thrives in normal room humidity; no special requirements.
