Huahua has recently become obsessed with oxalis~ A big patch of white, yellow, orange, and pink makes Huahua's heart itch unbearably, longing to instantly have a big flower sea of their own!!! Without further ado, let's get to know it now!

Planting time

The best planting time for oxalis is from September to October, but it is more accurate to calculate based on temperature. The highest temperature should not exceed 30°C, and should not be lower than 25°C.

If flower lovers in some regions are already within this temperature range, they can also plant early-flowering varieties!

Key planting points

1. Bulbs

Huahua suggests that flower lovers always place the bulbs flat during planting, because ordinary bulbs are hard to tell top from bottom, and even if they have sprouted, they are still not easy to plant, so placing them flat is the safest.

Then cover with a layer of soil about the same height as the bulb's length. The soil should not be covered too thickly!

Then water thoroughly and place in a cool place to wait for sprouting. After three leaves grow, continue with care.

2. Light

Flower lovers should note that oxalis is a light-loving plant. Try to ensure full sun or half sun. If there is no open-air balcony, you can place it on an indoor south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill, exposed to sunlight through glass for 4 hours.

3. Soil and fertilizing

For planting oxalis, ordinary loose soil is fine, but yellow mud and pure garden soil are best not used. It is not picky either, and most fertilizers are fine, including liquid fertilizer.

One netizen's soil mix is K-brand 933 peat, medium granules + a small amount of perlite + a small amount of fine pine bark + bone meal + slow-release fertilizer. The ratio is arbitrary, and everyone can refer to it~

After-bloom care

After flowering, you can pull off the spent flowers, or manually pull off the flower stems, but be very careful not to damage the mother plant.

After the leaves all drop, you can gradually stop watering. When it has mostly withered, dig out the bulbs. Be careful not to expose them to strong sunlight. Let them air-dry naturally for two or three days, just enough to evaporate excess moisture.

Huahua looks forward to everyone being able to grow stunningly beautiful oxalis~
