Oxalis Care

Oxalis/Shamrock

 

Light:

Bright indirect light is best for Oxalis plants, they are not well suited to low light conditions.  

Water:

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out halfway down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Temperature:

65°F-85°F (18°C-30°C). It’s best not to let it go below 60°F (15°C).

Fertilizer:

Feed once a month in the spring and summer with an all-purpose fertilizer.

Toxicity:

Oxalis are considered toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

Dormancy:

If your indoor oxalis begins to lose all of its leaves, don’t panic. It’s just entering a period of dormancy (which usually lasts for a month or two) so it can conserve energy for a new flush of growth.  During this time, you can move your plant into a dark place, reduce watering, and stop fertilizing until you see new growth begin.
