Cultivation method of purple flowered Oxalis

Purple Oxalis is a perennial herb. When it grows up, it is only about 20 cm in height. The leaves of this plant are emerald green and the flowers are white or light-parted. Its leaves stand upright and open during the day and close at night. It is very unique and has a high ornamental value. It is usually suitable for cultivation at home, but people do not know much about its cultivation method. Today, the editor will introduce it to you.

1. Breeding method

Purple Oxalis can usually be propagated by division and sowing. Sowing can only be done in spring every year and is suitable for indoor potted sowing. However, division can be done all year round, but the survival rate is highest in spring and autumn. When dividing, you can divide the large plant into multiple small plants and plant them directly in new pots. If the number of leaves is too many, you can remove some of them when dividing.

2. Temperature regulation

When growing purple Oxalis, you must pay attention to temperature regulation. This plant likes a warm and cool climate. Sixteen to twenty degrees is the most suitable temperature for its growth. This plant has poor cold resistance. When the ambient temperature drops below five degrees, its leaves will be affected by the cold. When it drops below zero, its leaves will wither. Therefore, after the cold weather in winter, you must move it to a warm room in time.

3. Lighting conditions

Light conditions are also very important when growing purple Oxalis. This plant likes warm sunlight and is suitable for being placed in a full-sun environment, especially in spring and autumn which are its peak growth seasons. It should be given sufficient light. If there is insufficient light, the purple color on the leaves will disappear and the plant shape will become scattered and messy.

4. Watering tips

Purple Oxalis is a plant that is relatively drought-resistant, but it prefers a warm and humid environment during its growth period. Especially after it enters the peak growing season, it should be watered in time to ensure sufficient water and keep the soil in the pot moist so that the plant can grow quickly. If there is insufficient water, its growth will slow down and the leaves will droop due to lack of water.
