Y’all! Are any of you growing oxalis? This is my plant from March to now. I do not know what I’m going to do with this thirsty monster! Any tips?

I shake mine every morning and rotate it under its dedicated grow light

Why shake it?

#### Hopper House replied on 2026-09-01

Simulates wind and makes the stems and root system stronger and I’ve heard can stimulate root growth, because the plant thinks the wind is blowing it and it wants to root in deeper to keep itself anchored

omg. This might be why mine is growing wild! I have a fan that rotates in that room blowing jet DAY AND NIGHT

This is my second season with mine. She came out of dormancy great, but I thought for sure was a gonner a couple months back, put her out on my porch and she exploded with growth. Blooms almost done now

How often do you water? And how big is her pot?

### Mel commented on 2026-09-03

Pot is 6". Watered maybe 1x week

#### iambijoux replied on 2026-09-04

Jeez! Mines in a 9” and I have to water twice a week

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-09-07

Yes! Oxalis are awsome!

#### iambijoux replied on 2026-09-08

How long have you had yours? Does it grow super fast, too?

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-09-08

Mine don't really live that long. I treat them like annuals.
