Is this a good spot?

I wanted to know if this is a good spot for my purple shamrocks. I just got her, and I don’t know much about the plant yet (only what I’ve googled today) + she seems a little dramatic. The plant was only $3 so I had to get her! 🀩 The window is west facing but she is behind a sheer curtain :) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner floweringPlants">#floweringPlants #FalseShamrock #PurpleShamrocks #help

They require bright indirect sunlight. Water when the topsoil is dry. The flowers will close at night and the leaves will fold down at night. They are a very striking plant as are lucky shamrock oxalis
@GuruWildpapaya Thanks! I was wondering why her leaves were folding. 😊
@Uzi If it’s daytime and the leaves are folding it often means they are thirsty!
@DreamMachine I checked her soil and it’s pretty wet, I think she was just confused because either it was darker in the floor of the car or she was just adjusting. But this will definitely be handy knowledge for watering her, thank you!!
