I’m not sure, but it could be the cold from the window. Is it cold where you are? If it is, the cold might be negatively affecting the plant since those tend to like warmer temperatures.

Mine does this during the winter if it’s near a cold area such as a window. Maybe change the area it’s in and if it does improve then I would check the roots.

Have you freshened the soil ever? You said you had it for years maybe it needs refreshing. Also, oxalis will often go into a dormant period, and then come back in the spring.
