Oxalis is the largest genus in the family Oxalidaceae and represents about 800 of the 900 species within the family. It is a large genus of flowering plants with over 550 species native to the tropical climates of South America and South Asia. Often referred to as Wood Sorrels, Oxalis are also known as False Shamrocks and a plethora of other common names.
Broad-leaf wood sorrel needs 0.8 cups of water every 9 days when it doesn't get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5.0" pot.
Prune branches back to a natural fork to avoid leaving unsightly stubs. Cuts bleed if pruned in late winter or early spring so pruning should only be done between mid-summer and early autumn.
Whether your potted plants are indoors or outdoors, proper drainage is an essential element to ensure they stay healthy.
