Trust us, the more Oxalis Triangularis in your life, the better! Here are some tips to keep your Oxalis Triangularis happy and thriving:

Oxalis Triangularis Lighting & Position

Oxalis will grow best with lots of bright, indirect light. To prevent your oxalis from getting overly leggy/leaning to one side – rotate the pot a 1/4 turn once a week or so. If it is getting leggy or the colour of the leaves a bit washed out, it often is a sign that it could do better in a brighter spot.

Oxalis Triangularis Watering

In summer, allow the soil to dry out somewhat between watering. To monitor this, you can use your finger to poke into the top 10 cm of potting mix and feel the soil moisture level before watering. Overwatering can lead to fungal issues or root rot. When the plant isn’t in an active growing phase in winter, you should reduce watering frequency even further.

As with all plants, drainage is essential. Ensure that whatever vessel your plant is in has sufficient holes in the bottom to allow excess water to drain freely from the pot and away from the plant’s roots.

Oxalis Triangularis Fertiliser

Feed with liquid fertiliser fortnightly over the warm, growing period and not at all over the cooler winter months.

Revive your Oxalis Triangularis!

Watch those old leaves fade away and make way for vibrant new growth. Grab some scissors or secateurs and snip away any damaged or dying leaves. Let your plant focus on the healthy stuff! Repotting? Easy peasy. Just separate a few of those cute little root bulbils and plant them in a fresh new pot. Voila! Your Oxalis will multiply in no time.
