A striking purple triangular-leaved plant that folds its leaves shut at night and opens them by day, with delicate pale flowers.
The free tool tailors timing to your climate and lets you save this plant.
Bright, indirect
Bright indirect light, with some direct sun tolerated. Good light keeps the deep purple color and the daily leaf movement strong.
About weekly in growth; much less if it goes dormant.
A light, well-draining potting mix.
A pot with drainage; it fills out fast from its small bulbs.
Every 1–2 years, a good time to divide the bulbs.
Lift and separate the small bulbs (corms) when repotting and plant them in fresh soil. Very easy.
Toxic to pets if eaten.
