Purple shamrock care - Oxalis Triangularis

[@PlantsandLucia]

Do you have a Oxalis Triangularis at home? how do you take care of it? Let us know down below :)

[@lucia-madridnishinojurado]

I have two one inside by my window and one outside in a cooler part of my patio but there is plenty of sun

[@PlantsandLucia]

@@lucia-madridnishinojurado that's so nice! How are they doing? 🥰

[@lucia-madridnishinojurado]

Plants and Lucia actually they were dormant or died to to excessive heat but I watered them left them alone and put in near my entry way more shade it revived I fed it and I’m leaving them be and hopefully they will survive (I talk to my 🌱 plants)

[@austinshelton6098]

Hello dear

[@rayssapinheirol]

Aw, so nice that you cared about the alarming situation of nature here in Brazil, thank you! I just got my oxalis triangularis and found your video to learn more about it :)

[@stefanpratt6800]

I have purchased mine a month ago and she has doubled in size. I talk to her ( just like I do with the others) daily and water her when she is dry. She gets morning light and she does the twist with me ( rotation) every other day. She's very happy.

[@mayarada2059]

Absolutely beautiful plant , great video and see you around.

[@jackiejackson1090]

I received my Oxalis a few weeks ago. She's sooo Beautiful. I'm excited to make her happy and take great care of her. 💜🌿💜

[@PlantsandLucia]

Yaaay so exciting! Sending lots of positive energy to you and your oxalis triangularis 💜🌿🤸🏻‍♀️

[@davidryan4219]

Hey Jackie

[@sleeplessinbrooklyn]

Great vid! I have an OT (Oxails Triangularis) that died back to one leaf about 4 months ago. After the initial panic, I decided to keep watering it ( once per week), and I moved her to my windowsill in my bedroom (East-Southeast; 136 degrees SE. You can use the Compass feature on your iPhone to take this measurement); fast-forward 4 months laters, and she has over 40 leaves, and 10 flowers). Once a month I top dress the soil with a teaspoon of worm castings.

[@aviaja2008]

I love your channel very much because you are also one of the few that mention that we should really care for the environment where all our plants come from. I donate monthly to save the Amazon forest. Thank you.

[@kristinperdue6392]

Hi Lucia! Thank you for this video! Just like all your plant videos, this is so informative and at the same time, it’s a fun video to watch because you’re so cheerful and you exude happiness! Also - I just got my first Oxalis Triangularis today! And I had no idea that they move according to the light! Now I love her even more!

[@thuntz29]

Wonderful video! I love how you are talking about nature and our duty to it.

Hi! Thank you so much! Yes, our planet gives us so much, we should care for it with all of our love ..! Sending positive energy to you :)

[@mhrancharkajian2866]

You know that you can eat the leaves and the flower of the Oxalis. They had an acidic flavour like the lemon. Actually my grand mother used to put some leaves in the salad and the taste is amazing.

Oooh that is soo nice to know 💜! Thank you for sharing, we will try it in our salad.. Also thank you for sharing the story of your grandmother, I find it so beautiful the ways plants transcend generations 🥰 Sending lots of positive energy to you!

Have this since seven eight years. It’s a gift from a dear friend who is no more. I’m so proud and possessive of her. Love her to death and greet her every morning and think of my dear friend Vijaya. That’s my plant’s name too. Many people want me to give them a bit of it. Very scared to damage her so if you can guide me as to how to share and propagate I will really appreciate. Thanks in advance

o my goodness my oxalis plant has lived with me since 2014 and thrives in all situations! However; my now 4 yr old cat just discovered the oxalis and chews on the leaves! I know this is very toxic for her. I have no where else in my small apt. I'm wondering can I place my oxalis in a covered glass or plastic container to prevent my cat from chewing on it? I want my oxalis to thrive and my cat too.any advice about homing the oxalis in a covered container would help!
