Tips to Grow Wood Sorrel

  1. Arrange good quality oxalis bulbs.
  2. The soil should be well drained, moist, but not wet or soggy.
  3. Dig little holes and plant the bulbs 1 inch deep and 3 inch apart. Just poke them down in the soil, don’t worry about which side is up. 
  4. We can add water soluble fertilizer for better growth.
  5. After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don’t cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulb for the future. 
  6. Late in the summer the leaves will yellow and die back as the plant slips into dormancy. Foliage many be removed at this point.

Note: For indoor growing and windowsill decorations we recommend oxalis regnelli, the classic shamrock plant. Half day sun is usually sufficient. Oxalis triangularis can also be grown as a houseplant; it will develop a taller, more open form than it does outdoors.
