Does anyone know why my false shamrock is leaning on the edge of the pot like this?

The stems are quite tall and the plant is sparse, it appears that the leaves are just becoming heavy for the skinny stems. Typically, when these plants stand upright they’re thicker and have the support of other stems. This isn’t abnormal for a sparse Oxalis, don’t worry. If you want to make it thicker you could add in another small plant. These are usually in abundance at the big box shops around February-March and pretty affordable. They’re so cute!

It could be inconsistent watering. The stems will be weak if it gets too dry because it’s fleshy. Stems firm up when it gets water again. Water when it’s almost dry. Don’t follow strict schedule. It likes full sunlight and regular fertilizer.
