Oxalis palmifrons - Palm Leaf [large] [limited] [fragile]

Highlights

Oxalis palmifrons (Palm Leaf False Shamrock): A stunning, optical illusion of a plant native to South Africa's Karoo. It sprouts showy fans of leaves that can flush magenta in response to bright sun and drought. It grows from corms underground that eventually multiply and can be divided. In the wild, they survive months of summer drought by going dormant. It blooms with white to pale pink flowers. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

Please Note: This variety has fragile foliage that can bruise during shipping, but will recover with proper care.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
