False Shamrock (Oxalis triangularis)

False Shamrock is a distinctive bulbous houseplant valued for its triangular purple foliage, delicate flowers, and compact container-friendly habit. Its deep purple to burgundy leaves fold and open with changes in light, giving the plant a lively, responsive quality indoors or in seasonal outdoor containers. Pale pink to white flowers rise above the foliage during active growth, adding a soft accent without overpowering the dramatic leaves. With bright indirect light, well-drained soil, and careful watering, False Shamrock brings rich color and fine texture to windowsills, tabletops, patios, and mixed container displays.

Distinctive Features

False Shamrock produces clover-like leaves made up of triangular leaflets that are typically deep purple, burgundy, or maroon. The foliage opens in bright conditions and folds at night or during low light, creating natural movement that makes the plant especially engaging up close. Small white to pale pink flowers appear on slender stems during active growth and contrast softly with the dark foliage. This plant grows from small bulb-like rhizomes and may enter a rest period when conditions change, then regrow from its underground storage structures when growth resumes.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in bright indirect light indoors or partial shade outdoors, with protection from harsh afternoon sun that can scorch the foliage.
  • Soil: Prefers a light, well-drained potting mix or garden soil that holds modest moisture without staying soggy.
  • Water: Water moderately during active growth, allowing the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings, and reduce watering during dormancy.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 11, while colder climates should grow it as a houseplant or seasonal container plant.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 6 to 12 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, depending on light, container size, and growing conditions.
  • Habit: Forms a compact, clumping bulbous perennial with delicate stems, triangular foliage, and a low mounding outline.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a dark foliage focal point in small containers, tabletop planters, windowsill displays, mixed houseplant groupings, or shaded patio pots where its purple leaves can stand out.
  • Houseplant: Grow indoors near a bright window where its compact size, colorful foliage, and light-responsive movement can be enjoyed up close.
  • Container Planting: Use in decorative pots where the dark foliage can contrast with lighter containers, pale flowers, or bright companion plants.
  • Seasonal Accent: Add to shaded porch planters, patio containers, or mixed annual displays during frost-free weather.
  • Gift Plant: Use as a compact gift plant for desks, shelves, windowsills, and small indoor spaces where a colorful plant is easy to place.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water when the upper soil begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain fully so the roots stay moist but not waterlogged.
  • Light Care: Provide bright filtered light for best foliage color and move plants away from harsh direct sun if leaves scorch or fade.
  • Dormancy: If the plant naturally declines or rests, reduce watering, remove tired foliage, and resume normal care when fresh growth appears.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, using a modest approach to avoid excessive soft growth.
  • Division: Divide crowded clumps during dormancy or repotting by separating the small rhizomes into fresh well-drained mix.
  • Cleanup: Remove yellowing leaves and spent flowers as needed to keep the plant looking fresh and tidy.

Why Choose False Shamrock?

  • Purple Foliage: Displays deep purple to burgundy triangular leaves that provide rich color without relying on flowers.
  • Light-Responsive Leaves: Opens and folds its foliage with changes in light, adding movement and personality to indoor displays.
  • Soft Flowers: Produces pale pink to white blooms that contrast gently with the dark foliage.
  • Compact Size: Fits windowsills, tabletops, shelves, desks, patio pots, and small mixed containers with ease.
  • Container Friendly: Grows well in pots when given bright indirect light, good drainage, and moderate watering during active growth.

False Shamrock is an excellent choice for gardeners who want a compact plant with rich foliage color, delicate flowers, and easy container appeal. Its triangular purple leaves, light-responsive movement, pale blooms, and flexible indoor or seasonal outdoor use make it a charming option for bright windows, patios, tabletops, and decorative planters.

A Truly Ergonomic Mouse
Number of Items: 1
Other not completely flat mice claim to be "ergonomic", but the only way to completely remove stress from your forearm when using a mouse is with a "vertical" mouse. My 2020 K75575WW Kensington ergonomic vertical mouse developed a problem with the left button "stuttering" so that it sent multiple button clicks when pressed just once. I liked the Kensington quite a bit. But it always just a little bit on the "not quite as solid as I would like" side, and failing after just 2.5 years confirmed this. So I wanted a more solidly build mouse. A search for "ergonomic mouse review" showed that the Logitech MX Master 3S was clearly the best ergonomic mouse available. At $100 it was several times more expensive as others including the latest Kensington vertical mouse. But sometimes furgal doesn't mean the least expensive. Sometimes it can mean the most expensive if that comes with better performance, features and lifespan. So I ordered it. And while it is indeed an incredible mouse, the angle is only about 20 degrees. The result is that while there is some reduction in forearm stress compared to a flat mouse, it wasn't enough for me. By the end of my very long days driving my mouse almost as much as I drive my keyboard, I could feel the tension building up in my forearm. So after a week I returned it and bought this Logitech MX Vertical. It is slightly less expensive than the MX Master 3S, but still much more expensive relative to other options. And while it is lighter and a little less substantial feeling in my hand than the MX Master 3S, it still feels very firm and solid. Most importantly keeps my hand in the neutral position with my fingers at about 70 degrees. A great feature of the MX Vertical shares with the MX Master 3S is the thumb rest. The Kensington didn't have this and so my thumb rested on the desktop. If it was a bit warm and my hands would sweat my thumb wouldn't slide smoothly and I would have to lift my thumb off the desk when I went to move the mouse. Not a horrible thing, but if you spend 8+ hours mousing around it gets tiresome. The button clicks are crisp. Best of all when the button bottoms out it feels like it is pressing against the case. It doesn't feel like travel is being limited by the switch itself bottoming out like the Kensington felt like it did. My hope is that this will keep the switch from wearing out so fast as happened with the Kensington. One slight negative of the MX Vertical is that I don't feel like I am quite as accurate in being able to move the cursor to a specific spot on the screen without some amount of conscious effort. Instead it doesn't go exactly in the direction I intended and overshoots where wanted it to stop. As such it might not make the best mouse for video games. [UPDATE: There is a bit of a learning curve in moving the mouse accurately. In the last couple weeks my need to make a more conscious effort to move the mouse to a specific spot on the screen is going down. Still think it is likely to not be as accurate as a flater mouse]

Great mouse
Number of Items: 1
Definitely reduces fatigue. Easy to use. Great response with less space needed for mouse movement. Stays charged for months you actually forget to charge it, ask me how I know :). I play video games with it and never have any issues with the movement and response time of mouse. And since my car wreck where I broke my thumb this is the only mouse that gave me the same as before the wreck abilities to move and operate the mouse. Highly recommend. One very broken thumbs up :)

Experience after one year of usage
Number of Items: 1
I had mainly used a MX Master 2S before this and because of my heavy usage I did start to feel uncomfortable after a few hours of use every day and that's when I decided to purchase MX Vertical. Now after almost 9 months of usage this has become the mouse I use on a daily basis, completely replacing MX Master 2S. Comfort: It took me about a day or two to really get used to using it because of the positioning and ever since then my wrist has never felt any discomfort, literally. I don't have a mouse pad but because of the angle that my wrist is contact with the desk when I use it, this has never been a problem. What I also love about the ergonomic design is that my hand can actually just rest on it when not doing specific tasks, and it just fits my palm perfectly. Functionality: I don't use it for gaming so I can't comment on that. However, comparing it with my Master 2S, there are some very obvious disadvantages. If you use Excel sheets a lot, or anything that requires horizontal viewing, the scrolling option is terrible. You can set up the function key on Logi Options+ and I use the side buttons for scroll right+left mainly because how easy it was to use with the Master 2S's side scrolling buttons. It is not comparable at all. With Master 2s, horizontal scrolling is smooth and precise. With this, it's basically useless. There are sites that just aren't responsive to the side buttons and when they do, you can never get to the precise point you want. Huge disappointment with that because I don't really use the side buttons for anything else. There is also no scrolling control with the middle button unlike the Master 2S, so you can't really scroll vertically as fast as you can when using Master 2S either. However I do use the middle button sometimes to just do the job for me so I'm ok with its basic functionality. The top button is mainly used as a look-up button for me, so far its working pretty well and honestly it probably makes not much difference if they just completely take this button out for me. Maybe some people can find use in it as a switch for scrolling or mouse speed, or something else. Overall, the customizability of these buttons is very good, and depending on personal use, I can see it being very useful. Battery life: Battery life is fantastic, never had any problem with it yet. I haven't really kept track but with my heavy daily usage (probably 10+ hours with no intense gaming), it can usually go for more than a month. You can also use it while it's being charged. Durability: I have unfortunately knocked it over the desk a couple times on hard vinyl floor and there seems to be no problem with it at all. Before purchasing this I saw some comments about how it stopped functioning after being dropped to the floor and I was really worried about it. However that is not my case at all. It is very durable in my opinion and does its job perfectly even after dropping it a few times. Overall, extremely comfortable to use. It helped with my wrist pain tremendously and now I use it for hours without feeling any discomfort. The functionality is severely disadvantageous compared to Master 2s and 3s, and possibly other gaming mouses as well, but if you are here because of wrist pain, this is the right product.
