This plant likes full sun (6-8 hours) to part sun (4-6 hours). If planted indoors, place it in a sunroom where it can get ample light. If it becomes leggy, move it to a brighter window.

Let this plant dry out between waterings. In the winter when it's dormant, refrain from watering at the normal level.

This plant doesn't need high humidity levels to thrive.

Oxalis like average indoor temperatures but will grow through a dormancy period during the winter months. If temps indoors are too warm, you'll start to see wilting. Keep it away from heating vents.

This plant is a perennial in plant hardiness zones 8-11 but should be used like an annual in zones 3-6.

Fertilize in the early spring at the first sign of foliage with an organic granular balanced fertilizer around the plant's dripline (being careful not to touch the leaves). Scratch the surface around the plant being careful not to disrupt their delicate roots. Sprinkle the fertilizer and then cover back up the area with a layer of compost and mulch. Water in well. If this plant is kept indoors, use an organic fertilizer once a month during her growing season. While in dormancy, do not water or fertilize.

To transplant into a garden bed, water your plant the night before. When planting your oxalis, ensure the soil is well-draining. Add soil amendments like compost to lighten it. Dig the hole twice as wide as the grower pot and the same depth (not deeper). Remove the plant from the grower pot and center in the hole. Add rooting hormone around the base of the roots. Water in the hole before covering with soil and let drain. Then add organic compost mixed with your native soil and fill around the plant and up to the top of its soil line. Tamp down with your hands to remove any air pockets. Water again around the drip line, then mulch up to the plant's drip line to help retain moisture. Keep her soil moist as she gets established. If repotting indoors, use an indoor potting soil that is well draining and includes coir or perlite. If roots are crowded, you can simply divide them or move up to a 2 inch wider pot size.

Trim fading flowers back to the stem's base. The plant will go into dormancy and turn brown as it gets hotter. Trim the browning leaves back to an inch above the soil. Move the plant to a cool, dark location and do not water for 2-3 months. Set your plant close by a sunny indoor window when it's time to come out of dormancy, and start watering lightly. Mix an organic fertilizer with the water monthly.

To divide this plant, carefully lift the plant out of the soil or pot and loosen the soil around the tubers, corms and rhizomes. Divide these masses trying to divide each clump to include a corm with a rhizome. Replant these clumps at the same depth as the previous plant. Add a root hormone to the bottom of the hole and water in before covering with soil mix. Work compost into the native soil if the native soil is compact and not well-draining. Afterward, fill in the hole and water on top of the soil. As the roots settle, your foliage may wilt or turn brown. Continue to keep the soil moist but not soaking wet until the roots establish.
