How to propagate Oxalis

Propagation by division

Division time

The best thing about Oxalis is that it can be divided at any time, but the divisions in spring and autumn grow more vigorously.

Division method

First, select a plant with good growth, that is, a plant with many small branches on the rhizome, and take it out of the pot without removing the soil at the roots.

Break the plants into several clumps by hand and determine the size of the clumps based on the buds on the rhizomes. Usually, more than 3 buds are retained in each clump. If there are too many leaves, you can remove them directly.

After drying the wounds in a cool place, place the divided plants in sandy soil and maintain the temperature at 13~18℃. They will soon take root and grow leaves. (Oxalis has strong sprouting power and quickly forms leafy plants.)

Seed propagation

Sowing time

Sowing is done only in spring.

Sowing method

Oxalis seeds are small, so they should be sown in pots indoors.

First, prepare a flower pot with a larger diameter (a foam box can also be used instead), sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil surface, and cover with 1 to 2 cm of soil.

After sowing, cover the pot with a layer of plastic film to ensure the humidity in the pot.

It will germinate 10 to 12 days after sowing. After the seedlings grow, they can be transplanted into pots. One pot can plant 3 to 5 plants.
