# Hello peeps, my friend has this plant in his home. He said it folds…

Hello peeps, my friend has this plant in his home. He said it folds up in the evening and then reopens in the morning. I kind of want one but I can’t if it. It looks like some kind of clover but the plant ID on my phone called it a pothos so….any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Fun!! This plant is on my wishlist too. I would say a false shamrock/ oxalis! 🤩

Certainly a oxalis triangularis/ false shamrock. It comes in green and purple. Super easy to take care of and grows very quick. I have one that was originally from my great great grandmother and it’s survived a lot of neglect. They can even come back from dying back since they’re grown from tubers. This was after suffering thrips and I just cut it all back to help get rid of them. Came back very easily.
