A pretty green coloured Oxalis that screams St Patrick’s day.

Oxalis are prone to shipping stress and will close up their leaves during transit. This can appear as if the plant is dying but acclimate the plant slowly, give indirect light, water gently, and the plant should bounce back quickly.

Water: If possible water from the bottom, using a saucer, once a week, and mist over the leaves every few days.

Light: Oxalis enjoy bright but indirect sunlight.

Humidity: Regular humidity levels of around 40% to 50%

Temperature: They enjoy warmth but can tolerate lower temperatures.

Oxalis regnellii Green, also known as the Shamrock Plant, is indeed reminiscent of St. Patrick’s Day with its vibrant green foliage. It’s a popular choice for adding a touch of green to indoor spaces during the holiday.

However, it’s important to note that Oxalis plants can be sensitive to shipping stress, as you mentioned. Their leaves might close up during transit, which can initially appear concerning. But with proper care and acclimation, they usually recover quickly.
