Instructions

Top Tip

Encourage your Oxalis to thrive by placing it in bright, indirect light and rotating the pot occasionally to maintain even growth. If the plant enters dormancy, don’t be alarmed—reduce watering, remove spent foliage, and wait for it to sprout again in the next growing season. Feeding it with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during active growth will help it flourish.

How to Water

Water Oxalis regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during active growth in spring and summer. Reduce watering in autumn and winter when the plant enters dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Always use room-temperature water and ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.

How to Plant

To plant Oxalis, choose a location with well-draining, moderately fertile soil in partial shade or indirect sunlight. Plant bulbs or tubers around 3–5 cm deep and spaced about 10 cm apart, ensuring the pointed side faces upward. For potted plants, use a container with good drainage and a light potting mix. After planting, water lightly to help establish roots, and keep the soil consistently moist during the growing period.
