I watered it yesterday… _Marc75님이 2024-07-08에 게시함_ False shamrock gone downhill in the last day. I watered it yesterday as it was dry and now it’s just gone limp. Not sure if it wasn’t enough light or the watering. Moved it to a bright window for now. Anything I can do to help it out? I’m wondering if the pot is too big and needs downsizing Thank you in advance ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/v9-yoDV6iFqZN-E9GY3NDmmNi31aiQ4G5Y65x0YEZGE/YHfqbREUQVOTOxoBFgvAGg.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/v9-yoDV6iFqZN-E9GY3NDmmNi31aiQ4G5Y65x0YEZGE/jJVcXzkmTmqp0o6XvWATVg.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/v9-yoDV6iFqZN-E9GY3NDmmNi31aiQ4G5Y65x0YEZGE/l3UEOB4KRXGO1WmUIsk32w.webp?size=large) ## 12개의 댓글 ### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-08에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have mine to the left of a big east facing window in a 1:1 peat:perlite mix ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/437cvweqbki9dm3WGwIgPKYbWJm3edDRYD1cwUaz2Sw/ETlAdwDhSHGijzswE8VPPQ.webp?size=large) #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-08에 답변했습니다. because yours looks to be reverting back to green, that’s usually an indicator of not enough light — and because of that it might be sitting in water too long. the fast drying mix I use works well for this reason. i also find that too much light stops oxalis from sending out flowers #### Marc75님이 2024-07-08에 답변했습니다. It’s the one plant I haven’t changed the soil for as I went on holiday. It’s now in an East- East/South facing window. Think I’m going to switch out its soil for a chunkier mix and let it dry out for a a few days. Thing is I don’t know how it was cared for while I was away so I may of watered it once since being back but damage may of already been done. I swear bushy plants are not my friend yet alocasias I get on great with 😂 #### Marc75님이 2024-07-08에 답변했습니다. To be fair it was really dark when I got it so it has actually brightened up a little since. Really thinking it’s a root issue ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/v9-yoDV6iFqZN-E9GY3NDmmNi31aiQ4G5Y65x0YEZGE/xHkC6z2_QP2DN2mFrnGvgA.webp?size=large) #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-08에 답변했습니다. alocasia well that’s a gift! oxalis is basically a weed so it will bounce back as long as the rhizomes haven’t rotted, and I doubt they have — good luck! #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-08에 답변했습니다. they’re kept in darker conditions for st pat’s sale so that they’re bursting with flowers I think ### send\_nodes님이 2024-07-08에 댓글을 남겼어요. I agree with eatyacarbs that more light might help. Also wanted to check - do you bottom water / let the plant soak? These guys are pretty thirsty, so it’s possible that if the water just ran through the pot, it may have not been able to absorb enough water, which can lead to drooping. #### Marc75님이 2024-07-08에 답변했습니다. Bottom soak most of my plants unless they like being on the drier side. Think it’s a look at the root jobbie ### Ash님이 2024-07-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hello! Mine seem to love bright direct morning sun so putting it next to the window was a great move. Mine wilted a couple times in the past as well. They bounced back probably some hours after being watered deeply. I find mine to be very fast growers so check if root bound. If root bound, they are drinking faster than you can water. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/QmB4DyX-A5NHt-yEJUL_yl-6QpEGilLTwSylNeZmqKo/w_0DfSSTTU6lCobCknhnaQ.webp?size=large) #### Amber님이 2025-10-26에 답변했습니다. Can you help me with mine,.please? Yours looks beautiful #### Ash님이 2025-10-27에 답변했습니다. Of course! What would you like to know? ### Marc75님이 2024-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I figured out what was wrong. WAY too much soil. Probably to be able to sell it in the larger pot size ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/v9-yoDV6iFqZN-E9GY3NDmmNi31aiQ4G5Y65x0YEZGE/oBh5hnviRoOx3NGqPuNYfw.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
