🌿 Oxalis ‘Brown’ (Brown Shamrock) Care Tips

Oxalis ‘Brown’ is a stunning cultivar of oxalis known for its deep chocolate to purplish-brown, clover-like leaves that fold up at night and open by day. It often produces soft pink or lavender blooms, creating a beautiful contrast with its rich, dark foliage. Ideal for indoor pots, shaded patios, or seasonal outdoor displays, it’s a favorite for adding texture and color to small spaces.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light or morning sun.

• Outdoors: light shade is best—too much sun may bleach the color.

• Indoors: place near a bright window (avoid harsh afternoon rays).

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry.

• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy during active growth.

• Reduce watering if the plant enters dormancy (yellowing or leaf drop).

🌱 Soil

• Needs well-draining soil.

• Use a mix of potting soil + perlite or sand to prevent sogginess.

• Avoid waterlogged pots to prevent bulb rot.

💦 Humidity

• Tolerates average indoor humidity.

• Can benefit from light misting in dry air but does not require high humidity.

🌡️ Temperature

• Thrives in 15–25°C (59–77°F).

• Not frost-tolerant—bring indoors when temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F).

• Enjoys a cool, bright spot away from hot drafts.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Skip feeding during dormancy.

💤 Dormancy

• May go dormant if stressed (heat, cold, or overwatering).

• If leaves yellow and die back, reduce watering and let the bulbs rest in a cool, dry place.

• Resume watering in 4–6 weeks when new growth emerges.

🌿 Propagation

• Easily propagated by dividing bulbs during dormancy or repotting.

• Plant bulbs shallowly and keep moist until new leaves sprout.

🌸 Styling Tip:

Use in decorative clay pots, hanging baskets, or paired with contrasting green plants. Its dramatic color makes it a favorite for terrariums, seasonal displays, or moody plant arrangements.

Charming and unconventional, Oxalis Brown exudes a quiet allure—ideal for modern and rustic aesthetics alike.
