Shamrock Oxalis - Assorted
6” Pot
With leaves that open and close throughout the day, the Oxalis appears to dance in response to bright light in the daytime and low light in the nighttime. With lively leaves and dainty white-pink flowers — if given enough bright light — this plant is great for those looking for a fun, decorative houseplant. Fortunately, this beginner friendly plant makes a great option for new plant parents and experts. Moreover, your Oxalis Plant is known to be one of the best air purifying indoor plants.
Oxalis will do best in very bright indirect sunlight and can handle direct sunlight through a window (preferably filtered). However, if kept outside it cannot handle direct light and must be kept in the shade.
Your Oxalis appreciates fairly dry conditions but also likes a thorough watering every week or every two weeks. However, you’ll need to be careful not to overwater since your plant doesn’t like soggy soil. During the winter, you can cut back on watering to avoid rotting.
Your Oxalis Plant thrives in humid conditions between 40% to 60%. If possible, you might place your plant in the bathroom or kitchen where it would be exposed to moisture in the air. Otherwise, you can place a humidifier in the same room or a pebble tray beside the pot.
Oxalis plants thrive in a warm environment between 60℉ to 75℉. These plants also prefer stable room temperatures without fluctuations. So you’ll need to keep them away from drafts as well as the air conditioner and heater vents.
Feed your Oxalis once a month during spring and summer with an all-purpose houseplant fertilizer, preferably an NPK 10-10-10 formula. You can stop fertilizing once your plant goes into dormancy.
Oxalis is considered to be toxic to humans, cats, and dogs.
Oxalis is unique in that it stores energy underneath the soil in bulbs! If it gets too cold or you forget to water it for an extended period of time, all of the leaves may die back, however, this does not necessarily mean the plant is dead! This plant can revive itself and come back to life and regrow when put back in ideal conditions again.
