Oxalis

Oxalis thrives in Dubai's winter climate, both outdoors and indoors. It loves sunlight but isn't cold-resistant, making it ideal for Dubai's mild, sunny winters. Indoors, it benefits from natural light while protected from extreme temperatures.

In addition to the Common Tips about Germination  "Avoid direct hot sunlight! Water moderately! Cover with soil moderately!", here is more care information for Oxalis.

Planting Difficulty

• ⭐️ Easy

• Planted from bulbs, sprouts in about 2 weeks.

Plant Information

1. Plant height typically ranges from 5-20 cm.

2. Clover-like leaves arranged in a trifoliate arrangement, with delicate flowers rising above the foliage.

3. Thrives in warm environments and is highly adaptable, but cannot withstand severe cold. Ideal planting temperature range: 10–30°C. Can briefly tolerate temperatures up to 35°C.

Bulb Germination Considerations

1. Storage method: Room temperature, away from light, no refrigeration needed

2. Planting method: Place bulbs horizontally, bury 2-3cm deep in soil

3. Germination time: Under suitable conditions, usually germinates in 2 weeks

4. Germination temperature: Optimal temperature is 20-25°C

5. Light requirements: Use indirect light during germination

6. Other considerations:

   • Keep soil moist but not waterlogged

   • Use well-draining soil

   • Avoid covering bulbs with thick soil; add a thin layer around the base after seedlings emerge to stabilize plants

Daily Care for Mature Plants

1. Temperature: Prefers mild temperatures, suitable growth range is 10-30°C. Can briefly tolerate up to 35°C.

2. Light: Mature plants thrive in full sunlight. Place in a sunny spot for optimal growth and flowering. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

3. Watering: Water thoroughly when soil surface becomes dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
