Oxalis Triangularis COMPLETE Plant Care Guide - Planting, Dormancy and Propagation (3-4 methods!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2023
- More ways to propagate Oxalis than you might think! I'll cover everything you need to know about the Oxalis Triangularis, from understanding the corms and potting them up, through to dormancy. I also show you several different ways you can propagate Oxalis and multiply your houseplant collection for free.
While this video is plant care for Oxalis Triangularis, much of this guidance will carry to other Oxalis varieties.
If you'd like to learn more about planting bulbs or corms, check out my spring care guide viceo which covers this in more detail for various houseplants, such as Alocasias, Colocasias and Caladiums.
If you have any questions, put them in the comments and I'll respond to every one. If you like plant content, hit the subscribe button for new plant videos every week. You can check out some of my previous videos on the channel, including: Pest control, plant unboxing, complete care guides and some plant experiments!
As always - Thank you for watching Grow Your Wellbeing.
Didn't know we can propogate from leaves, will definitely try it now..
Thanks for watching! It takes a bit longer but definitely worth trying 😀
I just bought 4 small oxalis plants. I had never seen them before, and I just fell instantly in love. Thank you so much for all of the information! I'm planting them in my flower bed and am so excited to learn how simple it is to grow more. Thank you!
That's great! 4 small plants for now but they will spread over time 😊 They are wonderful plants. One of my videos coming up is on the different Oxalis varieties - I used to dislike them as we have some that are like weeds but then too fell in love when I added some to the plant collection. Hope yours thrive and you get all of those lovely colourful leaves 🌱
I know Im late to the party, thanks for the video. Lots of information, to the point, and great examples shown
Thanks for watching and the kind words! That's why I love UA-cam, it doesn't matter when the content was made, people can still find it and hopefully it helps (unlike other content platforms) 🌱
What a great video! Answered all the questions I had :) Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for watching and your kind words 💚 glad to hear the video helped, that's why i like making them! 🌱
Thank you 🙏! I have had my plant for years! And at some point thought I killed it, nope it was just dormant!!! Then I realized this plant is different from most tropical house plants. Today I repotted and propagated it! Thank to your information!!!!!
Thank you for sharing! I love stories like this 💚 Great when they come back after thinking they're dead. Sounds like you have a very happy and well looked after Oxalis! 😊
Oxalis Triangularis is my favorite plant.. I have watched a lot of videos about this plant, and I have to tell you. Yours is the best by far. I subscribed.
My corms are sitting on my potting bench and they are going into the soil today. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing 💚 Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I like sharing plant content to hopefully help (or just entertain) others. Hope your corms wake up soon and you get lots of those lovely leaves. I'll hopefully have a new video coming up on different varieties of Oxalis.
You have very nice skin!
Aw thank you for the kind words - I think the camera helps 😊
Eru good and useful. Been growing these as my very favorite for decades and learned a a lot. Thank you. Well done. 🇺🇸
Hi Brontë, thanks for watching and the kind words. I must admit, I wasn't iniitially a fan of Oxalis as we have a variety in the UK that is quite an invasive weed (corniculata var. atropurpurea), that I had spent many hours trying to manage in the garden. However, I have now grown to enjoy the houseplant varieties and actually want to get some of the others 😊
FANTASTIC VIDEO! So helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Learnt soo much!
Thank you for watching and the kind words! Glad to hear the video was useful, that's why I make them, I like sharing plant content to help others 💚🌱
Thanks for your video. I would suggest you slowdown in your describing the plant.
Thanks for watching and your feedback. I am conscious I natural speak quite fast so trying to slow this down when filming! 👍
Great video. Thank You!
Thank you, glad it was useful. Looking forward to them coming back soon (roll on spring!).
Thank you so much for this well made video, it helps a lot!!! You should have so much more followers!
Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful 🌱 That is why I make the videos - It's good to know they are helping people (and I like talking about plants!). Thanks for the kind words too - maybe others will subscribe if they find the videos useful too 💚
I don’t understand people talking about dormancy with this plant. My plant grows all year long. They will go dormant during winter if you plant them outside. 3:15
That is a good point. They can technically be grown all year indoors. However, as they like a lot of light (as well as the warmer days) this is still a challenge. However, their natural cycle includes a dormancy period for the bulbs to rest/replenish their energy and grow back stronger the following season. So allowing the dormancy occasionally should help the bulbs/plant in the long run 💚🌱
Thank you for making this video! My Oxalis has been looking wimpy, now I know it's definitely planted too shallow and I had no idea we could water propagate these! I'll have to see if you have done one on the ZZ's. If you haven't I have one that in the same pot has some stems that are falling over and some new ones that are growing with nice thick bases. So odd?
Hi, thanks for watching. Glad you found this useful and will hopefully help your Oxalis. Funnily enough, I will be doing a complete care guide video on ZZs soon, since I used them for the experiment video. It could be a number of things , I've found if they're in low light or only part of the plant is getting light, they can get leggy and reach out on thinner/bendier stems. Sometimes after lack of water too so less rigid. Or possibly room in the pot! I'll defo do this video soon - possibly the one after next (to space out the care videos) 💚🌱😊
Does the acidity play into the potency of the purple color in the leaves? Mine is more mage ta while yours is a very intense purpule which I LOVE!
Thanks for watching and the questions. I've double checked and while they do like slightly acidic soil the main things affecting colour intensity appear to be light levels, watering and nutrients. So these like a lot of light, I have mine in some direct sun (not too much though), and keep some moisture in the soil (but not overwatered!). I've found if they are somewhere without enough bright light, they do start to 'fade'. Also, nutrients, so fertilising during the growing season should help keep them healthy and with strong colour. Issues with the corms can sometimes cause colour loss or colour blotchiness in parts of the plant but general fading/discolouration will like be one of the three above. I hope that helps and yours brings out some vibrant leaves 💚
Hi, thank you for this video it was super useful.
My oxalis this week started to look sad, and thought it was dying. I watered it but nothing happened. I think it’s dormant.
I’ll do what you said, and let it be dormant and replant in spring.
One question, can I propagate from leaves while in dormancy? Or does it need to be while the plant is active.
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it useful and know it's not dying - just going to sleep over winter! My motto with propagation is usually to try whatever time of year it is if you have plant material that can be propagated. However, Oxalis are a little different from standard houseplants because they actually die back when dormant, so I think that would also reduce the chances of successful propagation and then won't give a strong plant if they did root 🤔. I'd maybe wait and take a couple of leaves to propagate in Spring/Summer when it's actively growing again. It feels like a waste/goes against plant keeping instincts to see it die back but it will help it come back stronger next year 💚I hope that helps.
@@growyourwellbeingWe’ve let our Oxalis grow all year round (cuz we live way south), and it’s probably eight years old now.
In fact, we’ve had to “break up” the clumps of corms that grow really big and put them in their own pots.
They LOVE our sunny windows and fill our home with beauty and joy all year long. 🩷💕
What do you do abt possible root rot?
Hi Lea, Thanks for the question. It's often triggered by overwatering or poor soil drainage, which means plant roots sit in wet or cold/damp soil. Or if there is something in the soil that causes it in the right conditions. Look out for yellow leaves, droopy or soft stems. For the roots, they usually go black or mushy. So you can take it out of the pot and check them. You might be able to save it if there are still healthy roots. Snip off any rotten/mushy bits with clean scissors/knife and clear off existing soil. I'd give it a rinse too to get off any nastiness that might have been in the soil. Pot it up again in fresh well draining soil and care for as you usually would for that particular plant (but avoid overwatering!). Hopefully that helps 💚🌱
Not really any roots to rot. They grow from rhizomes. Just don’t over water.
Your 500th “liked” I’ve got green and purple Shamrocks from a friend in Georgia (I live in central Texas). Can I plant these outside? We routinely summer temperatures in excess of 100 degrees (F), in the summer and occasionally dropping to 32 degrees (F), which is the delineation between freezing down to around 19 degrees (F) on rare occasions… can I leave these guys out with a bit of mulch during winter months???
🙌 for 500! Thank you! That's a nice contrast with the green and purple. Hmm I'm not 100% sure are hotter temps - Triangularis and Regnellii are ok with full sun but the leaves are delicate so can scorch. So I'd say they would struggle in the extreme temps. Could they go somewhere where they get some sun and some shade throughout the day? These will go dormant during colder seasons, so they'll die back or look super straggly with limited leaves. If you can, dig them up and store the bulbs over winter. OR grow them in pots outside, then you can move them round and bring them in for over wintering. At least that's what I think I would do 🤔😊
@@growyourwellbeing thx
Great video! I was just gifted some cuttings. What would you recommend the ratio to be for the potting mix you mentioned at minute 4:15 ish
I just finished potting my new corms. I used 1/4 Organic Perlite, 1/3 Sphagnum Moss and 1/3 Premium Organic Potting Soil.
I’m glad I watched this excellent video first, though, cuz I was about to plant them upside down. 😂
How much i need to water the soil when I plant the bulb? I mean before they sprout?
Hi Sabina, thanks for the question. I would usually keep the soil slightly moist, maybe allow the top to try between waterings but not let the pot dry out completely. Then put in a warm spot with good light. That should help the bulb wake up 🌱 I'd avoid overwatering or letting it sit wet to prevent bulb rot. I hope that helps. 😊
do you have o overwinter them or they can survive inside like a normal houseplant
Hi, they could technically survive inside if you kept watering them but might they look weak/leggy as they like quite a bit of light. Plus they might not grow as strong the following season. I keep mine indoors but still let them go dormant later in Autumn (they usually show signs of less growth/sporadic new leaves) then water again once it's spring to wake them up. Then they should grow back stronger 🌱
@@growyourwellbeing but I want mine to grow big if they go dormant every winter will they come out fuller and bigger every next spring ?
Excellent video, much learned from this. Quick question, why do some leaves display in a green colour when others from the same corm are naturally purple?
Glad you found it useful. That is a good question - and there isn't a single answer! There can naturally be variation in colour where you get little green bits or stronger/weaker purple. If it is across lots of leaves, it could be nutrients - maybe needs fertiliser and potting up next spring in fresh soil. Sometimes older leaves loose their purple colour before they die too. Alternarively, could be issues with the corm but if it's growing relatively healthy just the odd bits of different colour, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Not a definitive answer but I hope that helps with some things to consider💡
@@growyourwellbeing Many thanks for the reply. The green leaf in question has now transformed into its natural colour. It was a new shoot on a healthy indoor plant and I had never notice this happen before. I may have been premature with my post here.
The plant only leans if it’s not getting enough light.
Thank you for sharing, that's good to know. They do like a lot of light! 🌞
A lot of mines leafs are dying and in early spring it was giving me flowers! So idk whats wrong with
Thanks for sharing. That's unusual. I think it depends on your climate, they appear to grow slightly differently depending on where you are. Poor leaves good be if it's not happy with its watering or nutrient deficient, unless it is slowing down for or during dormancy, particularly if it was over winter. Hopefully stronger leaves for spring/summer! 💚
Gostaria de ver como a planta fica quando está no periodo dormente
Thank you for watching and commenting. When the Oxalis is dormant, it just dies completely back (so no leaves at all). So it would just look like a pot of soil like the starting pot, until they grow again in the spring 💚
(I used Google Translate, I hope this translates correctly!) Obrigado por assistir e comentar. Quando o Oxalis está dormente, ele simplesmente morre completamente (portanto, não sai mais). Então, seria apenas um vaso com terra, como o vaso inicial, até que cresçam novamente na primavera 💚
