Oxalis versicolor can be grown indoors as a houseplant or outdoors in the garden. They from the garden center are generally available in the fall or early spring. Oxalis need bright indirect light to grow well and produce flowers. They can often bloom all winter if kept in a sunny spot. Keep the soil of a Oxalis barely moist but never soggy; allow the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil to dry out before watering. It’s best to water a Oxalis from the bottom so that the thin fragile stems of the plant don’t get water logged and the soil stays loose. Oxalis grow best in cool temperatures between 60ºF to 70ºF (15ºC to 21ºC) during the day and 55ºF to 65ºF (13ºC to 18ºC) at night. The soil for a Oxalis should be loose and sandy rather than rich and organic. Feed a Oxalis monthly in the spring and summer when it is actively growing with a basic houseplant food at ½ the recommended strength. Never feed a Oxalis when it is dormant and the bulbs are resting.
Oxalis versicolor The Oxalis doesn’t need a big container as it’s rather dense and compact for its size. The original potting will be easy and repotting after that won’t have to be done too much after unless you want to change up the pot for looks
These delightfully delicate two-tone blossoms make a fun and festive addition to any garden, be it a border garden, a rock garden, or even container gardening. The five helical petals, each white with a bold red border, open in the sun to form airy little funnels that are 1-1.5″ in diameter. Planted all together, your garden will look like it’s blooming with whimsical candy canes! They’re easy to grow in full sun or partial shade, especially in well-drained clay soil, loamy soil, or sandy soil. Their linear, slender, and green leaves form clover-like mounds, easily covering any garden floor. Oxalis versicolor
