First time re-potting my #oxalis, never realized they have these crazy looking giant roots!

I thought they were insect cocoons!😂

@lily63 I know! they look so weird, right? lol

They remind me of boiled shrimp!😳🍤🍤🍤

@jruthie LOL 😁

Me too, lol🤡🤣😂

Swipe to left to see all photos here.

Why did you take it down to the roots to repot? Ive had a shamrock for years and years, they bloom so often and they just make me happy.

@lesliecole49 I wasn't planning to, but the roots were much bigger than I expected! These are just pieces that broke off accidentally during the process, which I also replanted afterward... I just found them interesting and wanted to take a photo 😀

@cyndi I know what you mean- now I have tons of them! The ground cover is a really good idea, I might need to borrow it 😉

@gjones They are hydro rocks, basically just water-absorbing balls of dried clay, can be used instead of soil for some plants... I tend to use them layered in the bottoms of potted plants to help with drainage ☺️

Pretty

Unusual plant, beautiful delicate lavender blooms. Have you noticed if yours close up at night?

@jruthie Yep, the leaves fold down in the dark
