Oxalis deppei 'Iron cross'

Oxalis deppei 'Iron cross'

Common names: Iron Cross, Wood Sorrel, Lucky Clover

A relative of the purple and green shamrock, 'Iron cross' is unique with its 4 heart shaped leaves joined at the center with a rich splash of purplish brown in a cross-like design. Be careful with watering and repotting as the roots are a bit sensitive. If your shamrock needs some extra care, it will let you know and will perk up once you've met its need!

Light: Bright Filtered

Water: Frequent

Ease: Easy Breezy

Pet Friendly: No

Care: Oxalis go dormant in the summer, and you will notice their leaves die back. This is your cue to water less frequently, stop fertilizing, and maybe move to a shadier spot. When they move back into their growing season (shoots will start to appear) move your oxalis into a bright spot and resume frequent watering. Good care will reward you with beautiful little blossoms!
