Good morning, happy Saturday everyone. I am pretty sure my oxalis is going dormant. Any help on what to do now with this plant would be much appreciated.

Looks under watered

It was a full plant that had flowered. I feel like the more I watered it the more it died off .. so you think it’s safe to water more with just this little amount of stems left?

Mine did the same thing. And then 2 weeks later more came up!!

### Sunny commented on 2023-08-12

Under watering would be my guess based on the weak stems and leaves folded closed. Water could be draining too fast? Maybe, you provide sufficient water, but, the roots don’t get enough before it drains?

What kinda of temperatures are you having near you? They definitely go dormant, but I find it usually corresponds with cold temps (possibly very hot temps but I haven’t had those). The other thing would be fertilizer. If you’re not feeding it, the bulbs will go dormant also

Thanks for all the help . I do fertilize it , maybe not enough water and temp is not too cold in the house . It is under a grow light too which it seems to like
