Make sure the new soil and pot have good drainage! Only water the plant when the top inch of the soil is dry. Do not fertilize the plant while it regrows its roots, as it may cause unnecessary stress. Different cultivars of oxalis – all are toxic Oxalis Triangularis plant toxicity Water the plant thoroughly, until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Allow all excess water to drain before placing your plant in the desired location. These plants, along with most of the Oxalis family, exhibit nyctinasty. This means the plant moves in response to darkness; the increase and decrease in their build-up of sugars and potassium cause the leaves to lift and droop, almost as if the plant was dancing. Other common pests are aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. There are many in-depth ways to deal with each specific pest, but common houseplant insect controls can usually get rid of them all. The Oxalis triangularis can occasionally go dormant, typically after the growing season and when the plant is experiencing temperature extremes. During this time, the plant may look like it has died. Foliage will droop and the flowers won’t open to the light. Allow this to happen; it doesn’t always mean that your plant has died!Keep this plant somewhere it can get a lot of indirect sunlight. While direct sunlight can be too harsh for this plant in hot climates, the leaves do require medium light levels to produce energy. If the lighting conditions aren’t bright enough, your plant won’t grow as robustly, and it will tend to become unkempt and leggy, with uneven growth and flopping stems. You can feel the potting mix with your fingers to test the moisture level or use a moisture probe, which simplifies the watering process (especially during dormancy). For ideal temperature and humidity conditions, try not to position your plant too close to any HVAC vents, drafty windows, or exterior doors. How to Pot an Oxalis Triangularis Most of the time, this problem isn’t fatal and will go away on its own. However, if the case is persistent or increasingly severe, you can use a fungicide to treat it. Oxalis triangularis plants are naturally toxic, so be sure to read the label on the fungicide to be sure it will react well to your plant, and use caution if you have indoor pets or children.

Oxalis triangularis is a very beautiful plant, with small, trumpet-shaped flowers that come in white, light pink, and lavender colors. The flowers bloom in the spring and summer and last a good few weeks. Each stem will have three triangular leaves, which look like three butterflies sitting nose-to-nose. Most similar plants of the species will have green foliage of the same shape, but the Oxalis triangularis is special due to its unique, eye-catching purple leaves. Propagation is much like the repotting process. Just gently remove the plant from the pot and separate it into sections. Try not to cause too much damage to the roots; be sure you’re getting the whole root clump, bulbs, and all. The roots might be tangled together; if this is the case, use clean scissors to cut them apart, trying to keep as much of the root intact as possible. Neem oil is a natural pesticide. Follow the instructions on the label for diluting the oil, then spray it all over your plant, making sure to get under the leaves and on the stems. Before you cover your plant, test the oil in one area to be sure the oil is properly diluted. Neem oil deters bugs and prevents bugs from growing. It will take a few days to actually kill the bugs, but is proven to be very effective. There are many reasons your Oxalis triangularis plants might suffer, so it’s important to eliminate any possible cause. If you notice your plant begins to droop or struggle, reconsider your care routine. Try to adjust your watering or fertilizing. If your oxalis triangularis plant continues to decline, here are some common problems, their causes, and treatment: You might need to adjust this watering schedule depending on your plant’s environment. Plants that receive more sunlight or that are in warmer, more arid locations will require more frequent watering. If your home is especially dry, you might consider misting your plant every couple of weeks.Next, add a layer of potting mix to the pot, leaving enough room for about 1 inch of potting soil above your plant’s bulb and another inch or so of space between the top of the soil and the top of the container. Oxalis Triangularis are highly “photophilic”, which means their flowers and leaves react to the amount of sunlight they are given. In bright light, they open wide. In little or no light, the closed flowers and leaves look like butterflies. White spots on the leaves of your Oxalis triangularis might be an indicator of fungal disease or powdery mildew. Although too much direct sunlight can result in white spots, this is commonly caused by too much moisture and wet, dark, too-humid conditions with poor air circulation throughout the plant.
