I have never reported my plant in all those years. It has intimated me. I will get a new pot and repot it in the next 2 weeks and will make some rice water and banana water to fertilizer it.
My mom got her Oxalis a month before I was born, and it's still going strong!! For my birthday she propagated it and gave me my own. I learned how to take care of plants growing up because of my mom's plants and particularly her Oxalis; it feels good to be able to add another gorgeous plant to my collection. Oxalis honestly are surprisingly hardy plants albeit dramatic, my mom has dropped them countless times and left them outside too long in the heat and they're still kicking two decades later.
I had to pause the video at 8:13 to THANK you for showing how YOU tell if the plant is thirsty. How you have moved it around your home. I don’t comprehend nor have I had luck when people say when the top inch of soil is dry and then HOW much water to use,people are vague, so THANK you. I adore this plant, the colors the way the leaves change through the day, the butterfly shape, my aunt has one and ingot my first one yesterday, so I am so happy to have found your page. Excited to look through it. Really appreciate the information and your time producing it for us. 🙋🏾❤️new subscriber . I feel more confident now.
This was my grandma's favorite plant She had two of them on her apartment, which she kept lush and beautiful until she had to go to a home, ten years ago Those two plants basically died when she passed away, a year ago (Oct 11), but now they've come back I'm trying to learn to take better care of them, I just bought a third one two days ago, that I'll be placing on her grave next week, on the anniversary of her passing. Thanks for the video
Oxalis is also my very favorite. You are describing a very lovely gesture for your grandmother. I would love to think someone might place an oxalis on my grave. Do you intend to plant rhizomes in the ground? I think this would be the best way. I hope they’re doing well for you. I grab them at St. Patrick’s Day time, the only time I can get them in the US. ❤️🇺🇸
@@Bronte866 Unfortunately I've been SWAMPED with work these past weeks (trying to start a new business), couldn't make it to Mother's Day to visit her and check on the flowers 😕 last I did (some 3 months ago) the plant had way too much moisture and the leaves were turning green, from all the rain out there in the open (I understand it is an indoor plant) I wish it wasn't so but things get obnoxiously in the way sometimes, hopefully I'll be able to make it soon, thank you for the kind words 😊
@@AvyScottandFlower I dunno how things are going, but Oxalis actually really likes being outdoors (except in the cold). If you want to keep oxalis successfully by your grandmother's grave, give it part shade & rain coverage, perhaps a small sail if there aren't any shrubs or trees to shade it. Don't leave her out if it's going to be cold, she may not make it through a cold winter. Its worth mentioning, though, I have had Oxalis propagate new corms from fallen stalks & overwinter outside (but that's very atypical). You can easily keep oxalis out for your grandmother with these amendments. They don't need frequent watering, their corms actually store water & energy. If they go through a drought, the foliage will die back, but she springs back pretty fast from completely bare corms. Just don't give up on her, she is able to weather pretty much any storm with you. Good luck, I hope things work out, it's a lovely idea.
@@rickfromhell Thanks much for the recommendations!! I do water them much more frequently now but with small amounts of water; I was pouring way too much water on them (where the stems would burst out with water), but also too infrequently, so the plants would also dry up. As per the one I planted by my grandma's tombstone, it died, but then it revived indeed! It's exposed to the harsh elements outside in an open field graveyard, but it has held on, although the rains and open field conditions turn the leaves kind of green. I was so moved, when I saw the plant surviving, a few months ago. I think Oxalis was my grandma's favorite because I may have gifted one to her, when I was just a kid (I think I maybe bought it by a botanical garden). My memory is blurry but I think that may have been the reason why (she was always a plant person). I'm planning to go to the place were I bought the one I took to the graveyard, and learn about and buy proper supplements for it, next (maybe I'll do it next month, which is/was my grandma's birthday).
My oxalis is slowly going into dormancy. Every year at this time I expect it. Our Canadian fall less light and colder temps put her to sleep. She sleeps in a dark cool basement until January when I bring her out give her a wee drink of water and wait for growth. Every year she gets bigger and bigger. About 5 years now. Leaf’s out in time for St. Paddy’s Day. ☘️
I live in Southern California. My oxalis does not tolerate our very hot summers well. I just brought mine out of it’s brown paper bag, (in October) hoping it will grow during our cooler seasonal weather. Not sure if it will work, but I’m trying.
I live in Massachusetts and mine went dormant the first winter I owned it but not since which I find odd. I’m in the same apartment and I don’t think I’ve moved it. 🤔
I bought some of this and my husband threw it in a multi plant pot outside and it's doing OK in the shade. I wonder if it's able to be like an office plant? I would love to take like an 8in pot of this to work for my desk but I worry that it would just go dormant without actual sunshine. Other plants at work are doing well in my dept with no windows. Pretty sure there's some MIL tongue. Anyone know what it would do in an office w/o actual sunlight?
Oh my gosh so happy this video popped up for me! The pictures I saw had it looking like a bushy plant quickly. Now I know my little happy one and two leafed plants will get bigger. Thank you thank you. I thought you did a great job 💚
I acquired some of this plant corns from my mom’s garden before she passed. Since I gotten it I have planted outside which got pretty lushy (just not as much as yours) outdoor. But in the winter it gets so cold I usually bring it indoor but due to the lack of light it has very small leaves. I probably should put it in direct light so it could get bigger. Im just glad that I gotten this plant because I love the color purple and its pretty lavender color flowers that it gives and when it reminds me of my mom whose in heaven.
Love the amount of growth yours has! Mine have gone through the "dead" phase but it's bounced back better than ever before and starting to get bushy (not as full as yours though... yours is like... ULTIMATE OXALIS!). Thanks for the tips!
Wow I never thought I even liked Oxalis until I saw yours 🥰 lol. Another stunning plant from your collection inspiring the plant community! Thanks for sharing the steps to your success
I bought an oxalis about a year and a half ago. Placed in the garden (in the UK), when it started dying back last autumn, I dug it up and split it into three plants. On mine, below the corms it had very thick (1 cm x 6-7cm) white bulbous roots. Just dug it up again and split it, planting some up for in home. That was two weeks ago happy to say it’s starting to leaf up really well looking forward to a good display Love your videos, you’ve really inspired me with moss poles. Thank you🌱💕
@@dillonkentworth6718 i just keep splitting it up… every house I’ve moved to i plant some outside, give some away, and keep some in a small pot inside 😊 it’s very sentimental to me because it was the first plant i bought when i moved out on my own
I got one mine about 3 years ago for a Mother’s Day present. It was one stem and I strand planted it and it tripled in size I love it. Thank you for sharing ❤
I had two small {4 inch pots} oxalis that I'd purchased in the spring {New Jersey, East Coast USA} and had them outdoors in the summer, paying very little attention to them. I was debating if I should bother bringing them indoors for the winter. Then I saw your beauty! I decided to put the two plants into one pot and, to my delight, today the plant is very happy and has grown and flowered quite a bit. This clip was most helpful and informative, like always. Thank you!
My aunt just recently gave me an oxalis. She was hesitant to give me some because the stems are too thin and it might not survive the 14 hrs travel time by ship whe i go back home. But she still gave me some because she saw how i just fell in love with it. As soon as i arrived, i checked the plant and true enough it looked so sad i thought it will die in a few days. I planted it in a small pot. Some of the leaves, flowers and stems dried out. And the leaves are folded. Now i'm left with only 7 leaves. Today is the 7th day since i arrived home and i noticed 6 of the leaves opened up. So i guess it looks promising that it survived. I hope it will thrive amd grow as lush as yours. Thank you for the video. By the way i'm from the Philippines. Thank you again for your video.
I have never had any of my oxalis go into a dormant state in 45 yrs. First time I have heard the rhizomes called “corns.” They are my very favorite plant. I give the same care to all varieties/colors & use only clay pots providing lots of breathability as they would have outside. In the past I did overwater them once & this produced fungus on the leaves - very bad. Now I let them dry out but I water immediately after that or it will end them. A tricky balance. fertilize 2 or 3X a yr with plant spikes.
Love the tropical vibe of your lush plants looks awesome. Thank you for doing the video on the Oxalis didn't know you could pot them indoors, yours looks amazing ,am going to buy one and hopefully with all the tips you shared will grow as nice as yours.
Greetings from Ozark, Alabama! Thanks for the info on growing an Oaxlis Plant. I personally think that they are beautiful. I love your accent! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge on how to grow plants successfully!
I just got mine. All of my plants live under succulent grow lights that are on 12 hours a day. It was in a 4 inch plastic nursery pot that dried out within a day so I bumped it up to a 6 inch unglazed terracotta pot. So far it's happy, I hope it grows as lush as yours someday.
I’m really brutal with mine. It spends the summer outdoors. In the fall I break the foliage off, dig up the corms and repot them. In days I have new growth and it flowers almost immediately. I also have the green variety which grows faster and bigger.
I love the purple color of this oxalis! It's one of my favorites! I also started with just 1 or 2 corms and mine has flourished. I definitely found it to be a thirsty plant. I have to water it more than most of my other types. Since I live in Washington state (USA), I keep mine under LED light to keep it growing year round. I think mine is ready for a re-pot too. Now that I've seen your video I'll have to get it done.
This is the second video I watch on this plant. I must say you are giving me serious anxiety the way you're handling it. 😂 I accidentally cut off some healthy leaves and they were so pretty I put them in water like cut flowers and they stayed nice forever and bonus they made roots !!!! 🥰 I learnt in the other video extreme heat or cold will cause the plant to go dormant. It's common name is butterfly 🦋 plant.
Here is a rule that I have learned when it comes to fertilizer, use half of the recommended amount of the fertilizer but apply it twice as often this will give your plants a more even dose over time, another way to look at is it smoothes out the peaks and valleys of larger doses with more infrequent applications. It really is a game changer. Thanks for the video I always learn something.
Just found your channel. You can pluck stems out and root them in water. I did not believe this so tried it and it works. As long as you pluck it really close to the bulb. Try it. I love this plant.
I started having oxalis since the COVID pandemic. Started from a single bulb or cone and they turned out really big! ❤ Happy for your success though ❤🎉
I forgot I even had mine! I threw the pot outside to remember to reuse it the next time I needed a pot. Apparently, that's exactly what it was waiting for it. It exploded with growth. I started clipping the flowers out and it grew even faster.
I never had an interest in growing oxalis after seeing many sad looking ones. Your video planted a seed when I watched it a few weeks ago, and today, I saw the “iron cross” variety at my local supermarket, so I picked one up! Thanks for the inspiration!
Cant wait for mine to get this lush. Thank you for sharing your tips and potting medium. I have successfully grown some from pulling a leaf and petiole and putting it in water. After a few months roots appear, then some leaves appear. Once I think its large enough I transfer it to a small pot.
I just found four pots at Mauk Gartenwelt in Karlsruhe and I am so looking forward to growing it as large as yours. Granted, I have a head start with 4 plants. Looking into best growing medium now.
Omg I’d wanted one for ages and finally found a tiny pot at a plant store.Brought it home and had it in a light room but lost half of it’s leaves 😰.Ive moved it to my ensuite window sill and it appears to be recovering 🙏 I’m so happy to have seen your video it’s given me confidence and hope for a happy oxalis life 💕🙏
Complimenti è pura combinazione che sono capitata nella tua pagina ho questa pianta da due anni e stupenda.... Solo che d'inverno muore e rinasce in primavera non so come fare per farla diventare bella come la tua piena di i foglie e fiori?... Si può strapiantare?.... Grazie per tutti i consigli
Thanks so much for this video. I just bought one of these a few days ago, and noticed today that one or two leaves had died on it. I'm imaging that it was just due to the changed environment, but after watching this, I'm not that worried about it at all. It's nearly summer here in Perth, so hopefully I'll get some nice growth over summer. 😊
I just rewatched this video because I now have a small propbox full of corms and I’m going to pot them up! Jan, what would you think of this layering system for oxalis? - pumice or leca at the bottom - damp sphagnum moss layer on it - well draining mix (coco, perlite, pumice) - sphagnum moss on top as cover to retain moisture I’m thinking of putting a tiny bit of water at the bottom of the cover pot as well. 🤔
I bought 6 bulbs and put them in a large pot, spaceed them per direction , hug in window, it is very leggy. I'm wondering if I should cut them all and start over, need advice. TY. Yours looks beautiful
One of my favourite plants, beautiful colour and form. Mine (UK) goes semi-dormant in winter, doesn't completely die back but it does reduce down to about 10-15% of it's full bloom. I water mine when it starts to droop (usually once a week(ish) in summer, down to once a fortnight(ish) in winter), because if you over water it goes dormant. If you do overwater, let it dry out completely then water and it should come back.
You've inspired me to give mine more TLC! Yours is stunning. I find it amusing how you toss it around so much. I'm new to your channel and I love all the plants in the background. I'm hopeful you have videos of those as well.
I have 8 or 10 oxalis, but only one or two are as full as yours! Thanks for taking the time to do this video. it was very helpful!! I will begin to repot into more upright containers for better support, add some amendments to fluff the soil and will add some fertilizer..
1st Your Plant Is Beautifully 💜 Thank You So Much For This Video! When I got mine last year, it was full & beautiful. Until now, I didn’t know that they went through a dormant period, so I watered mine all winter, resulting in only a few blooms remaining. I hope that I didn’t ruin it. Would you please advise me how to proceed?
A lady gave me a little root with three leaves. Then it gave one leaf at a time. Now I moved it to my south facing window. So I am hoping it will grow. Thank you for the tips. I don’t like drama plants but I love the lady that gave me it.
the man said the best light from northeast, I moved my Hoya Bella into that light and it is doing better, also I don’t think I watered enough , great plant and video .P J Y P
Thanks for this info. I had one of these for years and then all of a sudden it went kapoot! I wasn't sure what happened and now you have debunked the mystery for me. I really loved the plant, so thanks for the tidbits to give me the confidence to try another one. Boise, Idaho USA
Thank you for this video 🫶🏼 I absolutely adore this plant I had 3 pots they were doing great ( behind window , inside since Canada is mostly cold or windy )all of the sudden whitish spots all over all of them 😞😢 I don’t know what caused it and how to treat them ‼️ would you please help me with this problem 🙏🏻🫶🏼
I'm going to increase the light I give mine, while it has a healthy amount of leaves, it always separates and falls to the outside of the pot. And perhaps I will try the ...drop it in a taller pot method....force the leaves up. As with all your videos I definitely suffer from plant envy, and this one's no different. 😸
I just brought mine home never knowing I needed one until I saw yours, I treated it right away and it’s all folded lol not happy!! I hope it transitions ok, but we’ll see! It looks like it’s been at the nursery for a long time, needs to be repotted I think, but we’re going into fall here in Canada so I think I’ll leave it till next year.
I've got one that looks like yours it's over 25 years old and it's only died back once about 12 years ago , I have always keep it inside near a window .Sorry to say I have not repottied for years but it seems quite happy and I'm afraid of upsetting it .
Fleck off lol I've been looking at buying some korms and little plants then I come across this😮 it's bigger than my Afro when I actually had hair. Absolutely gorgeous. How should I light it?
It’s hate love between me and my oxalis… I planted my corm in April I think. And it has grown me two leafs.But as soon as a 3rd leaf started to grow, it get rid of one of the older ones. So it’s been nearly 6 month now and I still only got one corm with one leaf.. and over the summer, it had such a bright spot.. I love the oxalis, because it’s such a beautiful plant… but I hate it… greeting from Germany ☺️🙋🏼♀️
Best thing to do is to split it up into individual bulbs - dig it up, you'll find that the leaves only grow from each end of the corm. The bulbits in between don't do anything unless you pull them apart. If you separate them you'll have a load of new growth.
@@sydneyplantguy Yeah, you’re scaring me when you say that all started w/ 1. I bought the 10 pack of corms off amz. My plant is still small. I certainly shocked it though & repotted, prior to watching this, & a lot of tiny roots were pulled off. Oops! I planted anyway & was able to keep about 6 w/ roots.
Now I feel good about my oxalis with 5 leaves 😅 I do agree that they are really fussy with disturbing the roots. Mine took a month to give me a new leaf.
Another beautiful plant & fantastic video! 💜 can't wait for mine to get this full! Might look like yours by the end of next summer. Provided it doesn't go dormant over the winter. 🤞🏼
I absolutely love this plant, I always think the leaves look like little butterflies. Its a shame i cant keep plants alive otherwise id have a garden by now 😢😂
I’ve become fascinated with this plant since housesitting at a friends and she has one in her lounge! I would like to get one for my house … out of curiosity, you said you water every second day … how much water do you give it?! Xx
Hi, thanks for the sharing. I just bought this plant. I live in Malaysia where it is hot and humid frm january to October. The temp is around 34-35 degree from morning till 2 pm and it gets shady after that. So shud I put it indoor or under direct sunlight?
Growing up we used to have oxalis growing almost wild..dare I say a weed..we used to call it donkey weed and loved pulling out a leaf and eating them...from the bottom up...nice astringent flavour...happy memories!
Wow!!!! A plant that you are not too interested in looks amazing...if ever you feel like you just want aroids ,I wouldn't mind looking after your oxalis 🤣 Thank you so much...a very helpful video..hope mine also looks like this lush in a year or so🙂
What kind of fertilizer and potting mix do you use ? Mine is literally the same as when I first bought it ! Then some times we get some green fungus on random leaves. Do you use a fungicide?
Any other non aroids you may be interested in?? I am happy to report I have 10 leaves in my 3in pot! I was happy to hear about your 1 corm! So in my 3in I only had 3....that I found from my 6in that went dormant for a whole year (my fault)...so I have great hope :) We all were waiting for this care video!! Thank you again and...hope you sleep well tonight...it was hard to peel out of bed this morning..nite nite :)
Awesome video again Jan 😍 you are a real youtube expert now 👏🎬 Your confidence comes through and the content is always helpful. Thanks for sharing and I will give my oxalis more light 💡 I can also confirm it hated repotting. First time I did, all the leaves died down but it went back up soon after 😂
I will give you a tip from my italian granny! You know that you can eat the leaves of Oxalis? They have a sour flavor (like lime) you can put some leaves in your Salad and enjoy 😏✌🏻
Mine has gone dormant twice. It is scary because I don’t see any signs of live. Ass soon as temperatures begin to drop down, the plant begins to show live. It is dormant right now, waiting to see some live soon.
I have never been able to grow one of these and I am really good with plants! So thank you for your tips; honestly the only thing I hadn't been doing was giving it food... I've tried it and all kinds of different light, so next one I get I will give it food! We'll see how it goes. Love all your plants! Could you please do a tutorial on how to make moss poles? The kind that you use are not available in the US- at least in Denver Colorado!🌿
I received corms from a follower this spring and the plant is nice and lush now (though not to the level of yours yet ;)) I have mine on a wick system, is that something you’d consider?
Thank you so much for making this video! You’ve given me some good tips and tricks and things to look out for with my little oxalis! Thanks again!! ☺️🌱
Amazing transformation of your oxalis trangularis ! I have the same plants and planted them in soil, and they grow like weed LOL. However, I think I will try growing it in a pot , so I can move them inside when the weather gets too extreme. Thank you so much for taking the time to show the progress you made on this wonderful plant, and sharing your tips🙏🙏🙏🙂
Can you share the substrate you use for planting your Oxalis? I have a small very sparse one and would like to repot it. I''ve had it for a couple of months, and it looks like it could use some new soil. If it was in this video, I do apologize, I think I may have missed that part. Thanks so much.
I have one that's over 25 years old. Still looks wonderful.
I have never reported my plant in all those years. It has intimated me. I will get a new pot and repot it in the next 2 weeks and will make some rice water and banana water to fertilizer it.
Wow! That’s fantastic. I would like to know your care regimen! Been growing them for 45 years and am crazy about them. Currently I have 4 in my place.
Wow that’s so cool!!

I decided to put the two plants into one pot and, to my delight, today the plant is very happy and has grown and flowered quite a bit. This clip was most helpful and informative, like always. Thank you!
Thank you :) glad it helped :)
My aunt just recently gave me an oxalis. She was hesitant to give me some because the stems are too thin and it might not survive the 14 hrs travel time by ship whe i go back home. But she still gave me some because she saw how i just fell in love with it. As soon as i arrived, i checked the plant and true enough it looked so sad i thought it will die in a few days. I planted it in a small pot. Some of the leaves, flowers and stems dried out. And the leaves are folded. Now i'm left with only 7 leaves. Today is the 7th day since i arrived home and i noticed 6 of the leaves opened up. So i guess it looks promising that it survived. I hope it will thrive amd grow as lush as yours. Thank you for the video. By the way i'm from the Philippines. Thank you again for your video.
Thanks and happy growing :)
I have never had any of my oxalis go into a dormant state in 45 yrs. First time I have heard the rhizomes called “corns.” They are my very favorite plant. I give the same care to all varieties/colors & use only clay pots providing lots of breathability as they would have outside. In the past I did overwater them once & this produced fungus on the leaves - very bad. Now I let them dry out but I water immediately after that or it will end them. A tricky balance. fertilize 2 or 3X a yr with plant spikes.
Крневища не "мозоли" , а "РИЗОЛИ".......😂
I have them in this variegated purple as well as green and solid purple. I love them! And they're tasty.
Thank you for this video. It’s so very helpful!
Love the tropical vibe of your lush plants looks awesome. Thank you for doing the video on the Oxalis didn't know you could pot them indoors, yours looks amazing ,am going to buy one and hopefully with all the tips you shared will grow as nice as yours.
Thanks :)
Greetings from Ozark, Alabama! Thanks for the info on growing an Oaxlis Plant. I personally think that they are beautiful. I love your accent! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge on how to grow plants successfully!
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection lovely
Thank you for this video! It was very helpful. I am a new Oxalis Triangularis mom, and I appreciate all your useful tips.
Thanks :)
I just got mine. All of my plants live under succulent grow lights that are on 12 hours a day. It was in a 4 inch plastic nursery pot that dried out within a day so I bumped it up to a 6 inch unglazed terracotta pot. So far it's happy, I hope it grows as lush as yours someday.
Love shamrock plants. They add such pop to any collection ❤
They really do :)
I’m really brutal with mine. It spends the summer outdoors. In the fall I break the foliage off, dig up the corms and repot them. In days I have new growth and it flowers almost immediately. I also have the green variety which grows faster and bigger.
Yes they are essentially a weed :D
I love the purple color of this oxalis! It's one of my favorites! I also started with just 1 or 2 corms and mine has flourished. I definitely found it to be a thirsty plant. I have to water it more than most of my other types. Since I live in Washington state (USA), I keep mine under LED light to keep it growing year round. I think mine is ready for a re-pot too. Now that I've seen your video I'll have to get it done.
This is the second video I watch on this plant.
I must say you are giving me serious anxiety the way you're handling it. 😂
I accidentally cut off some healthy leaves and they were so pretty I put them in water like cut flowers and they stayed nice forever and bonus they made roots !!!! 🥰
I learnt in the other video extreme heat or cold will cause the plant to go dormant. It's common name is butterfly 🦋 plant.
Thank you!!
I have one that I found at an estate sale years ago!
And!! Only a dollar!!
I love it!
What a good find !! :)
Yes yes yes yes!! I am so glad you did this video!!! My favourite plant youtuber ever!!
Thank you :)
Here is a rule that I have learned when it comes to fertilizer, use half of the recommended amount of the fertilizer but apply it twice as often this will give your plants a more even dose over time, another way to look at is it smoothes out the peaks and valleys of larger doses with more infrequent applications. It really is a game changer. Thanks for the video I always learn something.
Just found your channel. You can pluck stems out and root them in water. I did not believe this so tried it and it works. As long as you pluck it really close to the bulb. Try it. I love this plant.
I started having oxalis since the COVID pandemic. Started from a single bulb or cone and they turned out really big! ❤
Happy for your success though ❤🎉
Very very beautiful plant's❤❤
I forgot I even had mine! I threw the pot outside to remember to reuse it the next time I needed a pot. Apparently, that's exactly what it was waiting for it. It exploded with growth. I started clipping the flowers out and it grew even faster.
I never had an interest in growing oxalis after seeing many sad looking ones. Your video planted a seed when I watched it a few weeks ago, and today, I saw the “iron cross” variety at my local supermarket, so I picked one up! Thanks for the inspiration!
I really enjoyed this. And it has inspired me to help my tiny oxalis plant to become something bigger and more beautiful. Chris , Washington DC
Cant wait for mine to get this lush. Thank you for sharing your tips and potting medium. I have successfully grown some from pulling a leaf and petiole and putting it in water. After a few months roots appear, then some leaves appear. Once I think its large enough I transfer it to a small pot.
Thanks :)
I just found four pots at Mauk Gartenwelt in Karlsruhe and I am so looking forward to growing it as large as yours. Granted, I have a head start with 4 plants. Looking into best growing medium now.
Omg I’d wanted one for ages and finally found a tiny pot at a plant store.Brought it home and had it in a light room but lost half of it’s leaves 😰.Ive moved it to my ensuite window sill and it appears to be recovering 🙏 I’m so happy to have seen your video it’s given me confidence and hope for a happy oxalis life 💕🙏
Just stay patient :) mine definitely took a year or two until it looked nice :)
Complimenti è pura combinazione che sono capitata nella tua pagina ho questa pianta da due anni e stupenda.... Solo che d'inverno muore e rinasce in primavera non so come fare per farla diventare bella come la tua piena di i foglie e fiori?... Si può strapiantare?.... Grazie per tutti i consigli
Thanks so much for this video.
I just bought one of these a few days ago, and noticed today that one or two leaves had died on it. I'm imaging that it was just due to the changed environment, but after watching this, I'm not that worried about it at all. It's nearly summer here in Perth, so hopefully I'll get some nice growth over summer. 😊
I just rewatched this video because I now have a small propbox full of corms and I’m going to pot them up! Jan, what would you think of this layering system for oxalis?
- pumice or leca at the bottom
- damp sphagnum moss layer on it
- well draining mix (coco, perlite, pumice)
- sphagnum moss on top as cover to retain moisture
I’m thinking of putting a tiny bit of water at the bottom of the cover pot as well. 🤔
Sounds good :) always worth trying :)
I bought 6 bulbs and put them in a large pot, spaceed them per direction , hug in window, it is very leggy. I'm wondering if I should cut them all and start over, need advice. TY. Yours looks beautiful
Thanks for all the information. I love mine.
Just got one of these! Also a bit outside of my comfort zone, so this was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Lovely plant
One of my favourite plants, beautiful colour and form. Mine (UK) goes semi-dormant in winter, doesn't completely die back but it does reduce down to about 10-15% of it's full bloom. I water mine when it starts to droop (usually once a week(ish) in summer, down to once a fortnight(ish) in winter), because if you over water it goes dormant. If you do overwater, let it dry out completely then water and it should come back.
Great to know :)
You've inspired me to give mine more TLC! Yours is stunning. I find it amusing how you toss it around so much. I'm new to your channel and I love all the plants in the background. I'm hopeful you have videos of those as well.
Thanks :) yes I have full plant tours if you want to see all of them ;)
I have 8 or 10 oxalis, but only one or two are as full as yours! Thanks for taking the time to do this video. it was very helpful!! I will begin to repot into more upright containers for better support, add some amendments to fluff the soil and will add some fertilizer..
Happy growing :)
1st Your Plant Is Beautifully 💜
Thank You So Much For This Video!
When I got mine last year, it was full & beautiful.
Until now, I didn’t know that they went through a dormant period, so I watered mine all winter, resulting in only a few blooms remaining. I hope that I didn’t ruin it.
Would you please advise me how to proceed?
A lady gave me a little root with three leaves. Then it gave one leaf at a time. Now I moved it to my south facing window. So I am hoping it will grow. Thank you for the tips. I don’t like drama plants but I love the lady that gave me it.
the man said the best light from northeast, I moved my Hoya Bella into that light and it is doing better, also I don’t think I watered enough , great plant and video .P J Y P
Thanks for this info. I had one of these for years and then all of a sudden it went kapoot! I wasn't sure what happened and now you have debunked the mystery for me. I really loved the plant, so thanks for the tidbits to give me the confidence to try another one. Boise, Idaho USA
Happy growing :)
Thank you for this video 🫶🏼
I absolutely adore this plant I had 3 pots they were doing great ( behind window , inside since Canada is mostly cold or windy )all of the sudden whitish spots all over all of them 😞😢 I don’t know what caused it and how to treat them ‼️ would you please help me with this problem 🙏🏻🫶🏼
I didn't know about this plant until I came across this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks :)
I'm going to increase the light I give mine, while it has a healthy amount of leaves, it always separates and falls to the outside of the pot. And perhaps I will try the ...drop it in a taller pot method....force the leaves up. As with all your videos I definitely suffer from plant envy, and this one's no different. 😸
Hehe thanks :)
I just brought mine home never knowing I needed one until I saw yours, I treated it right away and it’s all folded lol not happy!! I hope it transitions ok, but we’ll see! It looks like it’s been at the nursery for a long time, needs to be repotted I think, but we’re going into fall here in Canada so I think I’ll leave it till next year.
Don’t induce too much shock at ones :) they don’t like it :)
I've got one that looks like yours it's over 25 years old and it's only died back once about 12 years ago , I have always keep it inside near a window .Sorry to say I have not repottied for years but it seems quite happy and I'm afraid of upsetting it .
Don’t fix what’s not broken :)
Great tips and advise - thank you for your video. I also only got 1 bulb thing from a friend. It has given me 1 leave and 1 sweet flower.
Thanks :)
I have 3 varieties. I have decided to start collecting some rare varieties. They remind me of my grandmother who always had a huge pot of "shamrock".
Where do you find them?
Lovely! Amazing. I have some in my yard growing wild. In a corner. I’m going to repot them and try your system!
Fleck off lol I've been looking at buying some korms and little plants then I come across this😮 it's bigger than my Afro when I actually had hair. Absolutely gorgeous. How should I light it?
It’s hate love between me and my oxalis… I planted my corm in April I think. And it has grown me two leafs.But as soon as a 3rd leaf started to grow, it get rid of one of the older ones. So it’s been nearly 6 month now and I still only got one corm with one leaf.. and over the summer, it had such a bright spot.. I love the oxalis, because it’s such a beautiful plant… but I hate it… greeting from Germany ☺️🙋🏼♀️
Mm hope it’ll settle in eventually :)
OMG!! That’s from 1 bulb!!!?? bro you are the plant whisperer, I just can’t get over the size of your plants!
Yes :) took a while though :) thanks !:)!
Fantastic! So helpful! Gorgeous, and so is the Oxalis!
Thanks :)
Best thing to do is to split it up into individual bulbs - dig it up, you'll find that the leaves only grow from each end of the corm. The bulbits in between don't do anything unless you pull them apart.
If you separate them you'll have a load of new growth.
U’re making it sound like it’s not growing like crazy already :D
@@sydneyplantguy Yeah, you’re scaring me when you say that all started w/ 1. I bought the 10 pack of corms off amz. My plant is still small. I certainly shocked it though & repotted, prior to watching this, & a lot of tiny roots were pulled off. Oops! I planted anyway & was able to keep about 6 w/ roots.
Now I feel good about my oxalis with 5 leaves 😅 I do agree that they are really fussy with disturbing the roots. Mine took a month to give me a new leaf.
Another beautiful plant & fantastic video! 💜 can't wait for mine to get this full! Might look like yours by the end of next summer. Provided it doesn't go dormant over the winter. 🤞🏼
Happy growing :)
I absolutely love this plant, I always think the leaves look like little butterflies. Its a shame i cant keep plants alive otherwise id have a garden by now 😢😂
I’ve become fascinated with this plant since housesitting at a friends and she has one in her lounge! I would like to get one for my house … out of curiosity, you said you water every second day … how much water do you give it?! Xx
Hi, thanks for the sharing. I just bought this plant. I live in Malaysia where it is hot and humid frm january to October. The temp is around 34-35 degree from morning till 2 pm and it gets shady after that. So shud I put it indoor or under direct sunlight?
Growing up we used to have oxalis growing almost wild..dare I say a weed..we used to call it donkey weed and loved pulling out a leaf and eating them...from the bottom up...nice astringent flavour...happy memories!
love it ! Beautiful color
Wow!!!! A plant that you are not too interested in looks amazing...if ever you feel like you just want aroids ,I wouldn't mind looking after your oxalis 🤣
Thank you so much...a very helpful video..hope mine also looks like this lush in a year or so🙂
What kind of fertilizer and potting mix do you use ? Mine is literally the same as when I first bought it ! Then some times we get some green fungus on random leaves. Do you use a fungicide?
is your plant from one bulb? i have 10 bulbs, how many should i plant in one pot? Thanks, i love this plant so much.
Yes it was :) i’d pot them all together so u get a lush plant faster :)
Any other non aroids you may be interested in?? I am happy to report I have 10 leaves in my 3in pot! I was happy to hear about your 1 corm! So in my 3in I only had 3....that I found from my 6in that went dormant for a whole year (my fault)...so I have great hope :) We all were waiting for this care video!! Thank you again and...hope you sleep well tonight...it was hard to peel out of bed this morning..nite nite :)
Thanks Justina :) i have a few canna lilies and marantas but that’s it :) the rest is all aroids :)
I'm so glad you made this video dude my purple shamrock looks like a hot mess 😂
Awesome video again Jan 😍 you are a real youtube expert now 👏🎬
Your confidence comes through and the content is always helpful. Thanks for sharing and I will give my oxalis more light 💡 I can also confirm it hated repotting. First time I did, all the leaves died down but it went back up soon after 😂
Thank you :) getting more comfortable in front of the camera :)
Your videos always brighten my day. So full of life and fun facts 😁
Thank you :)
I've been waiting for this video) thank you so much for sharing💚
Hope it helps :)
I will give you a tip from my italian granny!
You know that you can eat the leaves of Oxalis? They have a sour flavor (like lime) you can put some leaves in your Salad and enjoy 😏✌🏻
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Mine has gone dormant twice. It is scary because I don’t see any signs of live. Ass soon as temperatures begin to drop down, the plant begins to show live. It is dormant right now, waiting to see some live soon.
Yes! I've been waiting for this video! :D
Hope it helps :)
Would planting it with soil, perlite and worm castings take the place of fertilizing? Thanks!!
Yes worm castings is a natural fertiliser
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you Jan! Love this video.
Thanks :)
I have never been able to grow one of these and I am really good with plants! So thank you for your tips; honestly the only thing I hadn't been doing was giving it food... I've tried it and all kinds of different light, so next one I get I will give it food! We'll see how it goes. Love all your plants! Could you please do a tutorial on how to make moss poles? The kind that you use are not available in the US- at least in Denver Colorado!🌿
All of the supplies are available to purchase in denver to make the poles, I make quite a few. The real issue is the humidity :)
I have a full moss pole playlists with tutorials :)
Thank you for responding to our request to share the care of oxalis. I will apply them in tje care of mine, wishing reach beauty just ñike yours. .
Thanks :)
What was the word you used? You said it doesn't fo something but you still appreciate it thanks.
I received corms from a follower this spring and the plant is nice and lush now (though not to the level of yours yet ;)) I have mine on a wick system, is that something you’d consider?
Makes total sense for a plant like this :)
Thank you so much for making this video! You’ve given me some good tips and tricks and things to look out for with my little oxalis! Thanks again!! ☺️🌱
Hope it helps :)
Amazing transformation of your oxalis trangularis ! I have the same plants and planted them in soil, and they grow like weed LOL. However, I think I will try growing it in a pot , so I can move them inside when the weather gets too extreme.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show the progress you made on this wonderful plant, and sharing your tips🙏🙏🙏🙂
Thanks :)
Can you share the substrate you use for planting your Oxalis? I have a small very sparse one and would like to repot it. I''ve had it for a couple of months, and it looks like it could use some new soil. If it was in this video, I do apologize, I think I may have missed that part. Thanks so much.
Just some coco peat & perlite
@@sydneyplantguy Easy Peasy....thanks!
Thank you so much for the video.
Оксалис любит подписленную воду ::: сок двух долек лимона выжимаю в 1 литр воды и поливаю 2 раза в месяц...❤
