Oxalis
Oxalis is an enchanting plant with over 500 known varieties, in shades of emerald, chartreuse, and purple. Delicate, triangle-shaped leaves perch in trios atop upright stems.
They follow the circadian rhythm, unfurling their leaves in the morning, and folding them up at night, making them an excellent companion for your bedside.
how this nature nurtures you
They are excellent air purifiers, and add cheer and whimsy to your space.
Oxalis require a period of dormancy, and re-emerge after a month or so. They remind us of nature’s cycles, and that taking time to regenerate is important for our growth.

OTHER NICE-TO-KNOWS This plant produces delicate little bell-shaped lilac coloured flowers. When several have grown, gently tug near the base of the flower stem and they will pop out. A little dainty bouquet looks beautiful on a bathroom counter or beside the kitchen sink. Doing this also signals to the plant to produce more. Watch a lovely 3-minute video on Oxalis plant care |
