# Advice needed please! Recently received this oxalis. She looked good…

_Posted by Grandma2aDancer on 2025-04-17_

Advice needed please! Recently received this oxalis. She looked good yesterday and today all droopy. Soil was DRY! She’s only in a 2” pot with many plants. Obviously, I watered her earlier than Planta suggested.  
Main Question-should I repot to a 4” (or bigger) pot so she doesn’t dry out in a day and a half? I read she’s a very fast grower, so she should fill in the 4” (or bigger) pot rather quickly?  
TIA for any help🌱

Definitely repot they love space and have little root nodes, they are very fragile but don’t worry they will grow back if you kill them! I’ve killed and regrown mine many times. Give good amount of bright light and don’t let the soil be dry for more than a day or two or they will wilt almost immediately 💜

Thank you! She looked great yesterday and today-BOOM! I was hoping repot was the answer, it just made sense to me and your explanation is MUCH appreciated! Thank for all the info!

Beautiful plant! Should I repot into a 4 inch pot or a 6 inch? Since the grow so quickly, I was thinking 6 inch?

Plants watering schedule is NOT oxalis friendly. One of mine was like every 23 days 🙄

#### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-17

It’s not-but I’ve found several times in less than a week, that it has me watering g and then watering again the next day. Sometimes it’s water with fertilizer and sometimes it’s the exact same water as previous day. I’m checking last watering on every plant before I water now.

Oh yea I changed everything to sticks instead of liquid because it was doing that

Any thoughts on whether to go to a 4” or a 6” pot? I’m leaning towards 6”, since they grow so rapidly?
