About this plant
Oxalis Green Shamrock suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, morning sun is fine. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses, so keep it away from pets.
Likes bright, indirect light, with morning sun fine, and has triangular leaflets and white flowers.
Oxalis Green Shamrock is the green-leaved false shamrock, sold as Oxalis regnellii and now classed under Oxalis triangularis subsp. papilionacea. It forms a neat mound of bright green, triangular leaflets on thin stems, topped with small white flowers for long periods. Like all Oxalis, the leaves fold down at night.
In Dubai it grows best indoors in bright, indirect light, or in a shaded outdoor pot from October to April. It grows from small rhizomes and may slow down or rest in the peak of summer heat. If leaves start to die back, reduce watering and give it a few weeks; fresh growth normally returns. Direct summer sun outdoors will scorch it.
It works on kitchen windowsills, desks and side tables, and pairs well with purple Oxalis triangularis. We offer it at around 10 to 20 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Oxalis Green Shamrock healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; morning sun is fine. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 4–6 days when the top 2 cm is dry; much less if it goes dormant. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Light, free-draining potting mix. Feeding: Half-strength liquid feed every 3 to 4 weeks during active growth. Common mistake: Watering heavily while it is resting in summer, which rots the rhizomes. Where it works: Kitchen windowsills, desks, side tables and winter balcony pots.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses (soluble calcium oxalates; can cause salivation, tremors and, rarely in dogs and cats, kidney failure; listed as Shamrock Plant, Oxalis spp.).
