How to care for your Oxalis Articulata

  • Light: Prefers partial to full sun. It can tolerate some shade, but too much shade can cause the plant to become leggy and the leaves to become less vibrant.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering as it can cause the roots to rot. Ensure the soil has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil that is slightly acidic. A good potting mix with peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite can provide the ideal growing conditions for the plant. In garden beds, it can grow in most soils that drain well.
  • Fertiliser: Doesn’t require fertiliser, but you can feed it once every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
  • Pruning: Trim back any yellow or brown leaves, as well as any dead stems. This will help keep the plant looking tidy and prevent the spread of disease.
  • Propagation: Propagates easily from stem cuttings. Simply cut off a healthy stem with several leaves and place it in moist potting soil. In a few weeks, roots should appear.
