I appreciate this plant every day. She’s one of my oldest and definitely a favorite. She has brought me many years of joy with her daily blooms. Oxalis Triangularis.

How do you keep yours so full? Two years in a row now mine have gotten sparse and leggy

#### Mullein ha respondido el 2024-01-13

Do you use fertilizer? Mine likes frequent feeds

#### Tee Jay ha respondido el 2024-01-13

Yes!

#### Mullein ha respondido el 2024-01-13

Hmm so that’s not the problem 🤔 Lighting? They’re usually fine with part sun, part shade in my experience

I dug out some of the rhizomes and added a little soil. I add about 1/2 in of cow manure in spring since the soil is drained of its nutrients being so old. I added Osmocote fertilizer beads last year. The summer heatwave damaged it. I fight red fungus once each summer with a fungicide or I leave it alone and the plant eventually recovers on its own. It dies back sometimes. So, I dug out as few rhizomes for propagation when it was at its worst.

It suffered, then, recovered in October and November with cooler weather. I added SuperThrive and it helped a lot with the recovery. See August and September pictures.

It stays in full sun all year and loves it. I bring it inside for a few days when the weather will be freezing. This plant can take winter. But, I don’t want the stem and leaves to die off. So, I move the pot inside on the coldest days.

I water when the leaves fold like a half closed umbrella. Leaves may fold down at night and open at sunrise. Folded leaves at midday means it needs water.

The pot is a Mexican terracotta pot , unglazed inside, with 1 inch thick walls. I got it from Lowes many years ago. I will have to break it to eventually repot.

I love these too! I put mine into dormancy to store it for the winter, but I’ve been missing it!

It’s cool that they hibernate like bears and come back looking perky. 😁

I have one that I thought I had killed so I cut it down to its roots and set it aside. A few weeks later it grew back and it now looks better than it ever did! These guys are persistent little fighters (and beautiful).

#### Sunny ha respondido el 2024-01-14

Sometimes they just need to rest and build more energy.
