Product Information

Repot your Oxalis triangularis plant about every other year, and always use a pot one size up from the current size (until the desired maximum sized is reached). Make sure your pots have good drainage as well. To do this, use a potting mix that holds moisture, but drains well. Any average indoor plant mix is fine, but you can always add some perlite or peat to add more moisture. For best results, use a lightweight potting mix. Dormancy of Oxalis Triangularis plants White spots on the leaves of your Oxalis triangularis might be an indicator of fungal disease or powdery mildew. Although too much direct sunlight can result in white spots, this is commonly caused by too much moisture and wet, dark, too-humid conditions with poor air circulation throughout the plant.

Water the plant thoroughly, until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Allow all excess water to drain before placing your plant in the desired location.

There are many reasons your Oxalis triangularis plants might suffer, so it’s important to eliminate any possible cause. If you notice your plant begins to droop or struggle, reconsider your care routine. Try to adjust your watering or fertilizing. If your oxalis triangularis plant continues to decline, here are some common problems, their causes, and treatment: Water your plant about once every week, and water it very lightly/gently. The stems of this plant are delicate and can easily break if treated roughly. Only water when the top inch or so of the soil is dry. Too much water can cause root rot, and too little water can cause the plant to go dormant, which we’ll discuss later. A dormant Oxalis triangularis requires a different care routine than a non-dormant plant. Once your plant has gone dormant, remove dead foliage. Dead and damaged flowers and leaves cause stress to the plant and take up energy that could be directed elsewhere. By removing these stressors, air can flow better through the plant and encourages better energy distribution, which results in a healthier, stronger plant.The Oxalis triangularis plant grows an average of 20 inches tall when flowering, and the leaves will stretch out quite a bit. Because of the wide growth, this plant is normally kept outside. However, it keeps very well when restricted to a pot, making it an ideal houseplant. Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength every one to two weeks. For best results, add the fertilizer to your regular watering routine when appropriate. Do Oxalis Triangularis Plants Need to Be Pruned? The Oxalis triangularis can occasionally go dormant, typically after the growing season and when the plant is experiencing temperature extremes. During this time, the plant may look like it has died. Foliage will droop and the flowers won’t open to the light. Allow this to happen; it doesn’t always mean that your plant has died! Other common pests are aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. There are many in-depth ways to deal with each specific pest, but common houseplant insect controls can usually get rid of them all.

These plants, along with most of the Oxalis family, exhibit nyctinasty. This means the plant moves in response to darkness; the increase and decrease in their build-up of sugars and potassium cause the leaves to lift and droop, almost as if the plant was dancing. You can feel the potting mix with your fingers to test the moisture level or use a moisture probe, which simplifies the watering process (especially during dormancy). Keep this plant somewhere it can get a lot of indirect sunlight. While direct sunlight can be too harsh for this plant in hot climates, the leaves do require medium light levels to produce energy. If the lighting conditions aren’t bright enough, your plant won’t grow as robustly, and it will tend to become unkempt and leggy, with uneven growth and flopping stems. Oxalis triangularis plants are easy to care for, and can live for a long time—up to 100 years! This means they often become “heirloom plants”, passed down from generation to generation, in most cases becoming part of a much-loved family tradition.You’ll need a rich and well-draining potting mix, a container with drainage holes, and a location in your home that receives plenty of sunlight. Somewhere near a south-facing window would be ideal. Neem oil is a natural pesticide. Follow the instructions on the label for diluting the oil, then spray it all over your plant, making sure to get under the leaves and on the stems. Before you cover your plant, test the oil in one area to be sure the oil is properly diluted. Neem oil deters bugs and prevents bugs from growing. It will take a few days to actually kill the bugs, but is proven to be very effective. Oxalis triangularis is one of the easiest plants to grow indoors. It’s fairly low-maintenance, tolerant of a variety of conditions, and is great for beginners. What to Do Before Planting an Oxalis Triangularis

If planting an Oxalis triangularis from a bulb, you should see growth above the potting soil within 3 to 6 weeks. Conversely, plants that receive less sunlight or that are placed in cooler or more humid environments will require less frequent watering.Next, add a layer of potting mix to the pot, leaving enough room for about 1 inch of potting soil above your plant’s bulb and another inch or so of space between the top of the soil and the top of the container. They’re better displayed in a traditional container on a windowsill or side table. Growth Expectations

Moderate or average indoor humidity is fine. In exceptionally dry conditions, you can increase humidity by running a humidifier, misting the plant once a week, or adding a humidity tray with pebbles and water below the plant. Every part of the Oxalis triangularis plant is toxic in large amounts, with the highest toxins being in the bulbs. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and children. ResourcesThese solutions should get rid of a light infestation. If the infestation is worse, or the other solutions don’t get the job done, here are a few more heavy-duty methods: Make sure the new soil and pot have good drainage! Only water the plant when the top inch of the soil is dry. Do not fertilize the plant while it regrows its roots, as it may cause unnecessary stress.
