Oxalis Vulcano Pink

Oxalis 'Vulcano Pink' (Oxalis vulcanicola 'Pink')

This fiery and extremely attractive Oxalis 'Vulcano Pink' is a true burst of color for your home! Unlike classic oxalis varieties, this cultivar stands out with delicate, tricolored leaves featuring neon pink, burgundy, and dark green shades. Its beauty is often enhanced by small, bright yellow flowers that create a striking and bold contrast with the pink leaves. Like other oxalis plants, it has the magical ability to fold its leaves in the evening or darkness, as if going to sleep, only to open them wide again in the morning. It is a wonderful, fast-growing, and slightly trailing houseplant that will become a vivid interior accent and bring genuine joy as a colorful gift for any plant lover.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Bright, diffused light. To maintain the bright and fiery pink leaf coloration, the plant needs a large amount of light (morning sun is ideal), but it should be protected from the harsh midday heat.

• 💧 Watering: Moderate. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. The plant will definitely tolerate slight drying out better than prolonged soaking in standing water (which can quickly rot its delicate roots).

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Thrives at standard room temperature and tolerates normal, dry indoor air well, so misting is not necessary. In winter months, protect from cold drafts and heat from radiators.

• 🐾 Pets: Not pet-friendly. The plant contains oxalic acid (oxalates), which is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested in large amounts, causing digestive irritation.

🏠 BEST LOCATION:

• A bright windowsill facing east or west (where the plant will receive enough light to maintain its intense color).

• Hung in a pot or placed on a raised surface (allowing its delicate, colorful stems to elegantly cascade over the pot edges).

• Office desk near a window (as a small, extremely colorful, and motivating accent for your workday).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 15 cm

• Pot diameter: 10 cm

⚠️ Note: Plants are living organisms, so each specimen may vary slightly from the image shown. Please note that after transportation—in a dark box—the plant will have folded its leaves. Placing it in light will soon cause it to unfold its pink splendor again!
