Question
I have a large 3-leaf houseplant in an 8" container. Each leaf is a perfectly shaped heart. They begin growing as pink fuzzy stalks which become light green and smooth as each matures. The leaves fold down at night just like an umbrella. It grows very well. Largest total width of 3-leaf is 4". What is the name of this plant?

Answer
Hi Miles,

Your plant is an Oxalis. There are many varieties of Oxalis that come with different leaf and flower colors. They all require the same basic care.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

If this information has been helpful, please take the time to give me a rating and nomination.
