Pink Butterfly Oxalis

Description

Pink Butterfly Oxalis is a popular houseplant that is known for its striking appearance and easy care. This plant is a member of the Oxalidaceae family and is native to South America. It is a compact, clumping plant that typically reaches 15-25 cm in height and width. The Pink Butterfly Oxalis has distinctive triangular, butterfly-shaped leaves in deep purple to burgundy tones with vibrant pink undersides. The leaves are delicate yet resilient, and exhibit a fascinating nyctinastic movement—folding down at night and reopening in the morning. The plant grows from underground bulbs and produces delicate pink or white five-petaled flowers on slender stems.

This plant is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care. It thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct morning sun. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Overwatering can lead to bulb rot, so it is important to avoid waterlogged conditions. The Pink Butterfly Oxalis is a great addition to any indoor space, bringing unique color, movement, and charm.
