How to Plant Oxallis from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in spring or early summer after the risk of frost has passed.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Choose a well-draining location with light, loamy soil.
  2. Amend the soil with organic compost to improve fertility.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Use a seed-starting mix in trays or small pots.
  2. Sow seeds lightly on the soil surface, as they require light for germination.
  3. Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
  4. Mist the soil lightly to keep it moist but not soggy.
  5. Seeds take 14-30 days to germinate.
  6. Once seedlings develop two true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or garden beds.

Transplanting Seedlings Outdoors

  1. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.
  2. Space plants 6-12 inches apart to allow proper air circulation.
  3. Water thoroughly after transplanting.

Pro Tip

Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent rot. It’s a low-maintenance beauty that can self-seed and spread quickly.

Bonus: Oxalis is edible—its tangy leaves can be a zesty addition to salads!

Getting to know your Oxalis

Oxalis is a small, clover-like perennial known for its delicate, trifoliate leaves and bright flowers in pink, yellow, or white. It thrives in partial shade and well-drained soil, making it an excellent ground cover or container plant. Some species are edible, with a lemony, tart flavor due to oxalic acid. Oxalis is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance but can spread aggressively if not controlled. It is often used as an ornamental houseplant or in rock gardens.

What it's used for

1. Ornamental Uses:

  • Ideal for rock gardens, borders, ground cover, and hanging baskets.
  • Used in indoor gardening for its attractive foliage and easy care.

2. Culinary Uses:

  • Some Oxalis species, like wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella), are edible and have a tangy, citrus-like flavor.
  • Often used in salads, teas, and garnishes.

3. Medicinal Uses:

  • Traditionally used to aid digestion and treat infections.
  • Contains oxalic acid, which can be toxic in large amounts.

4. Companion Planting:

  • Helps suppress weeds and attracts pollinators.
  • Grows well alongside ferns, hostas, and other shade-loving plants.
Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Prefers partial to full sun, depending on the species.
  • Indoor varieties do well with bright, indirect light.

Soil:

  • Thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
  • Enrich soil with organic compost for best results.

Watering:

  • Requires moderate watering, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Avoid overwatering, as bulbs can rot in soggy conditions.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Hardy in USDA Zones 6-11, depending on the species.
  • Most Oxalis species prefer temperatures between 50-75°F (10-24°C).

Fertilization:

  • Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
  • Avoid excessive fertilization to prevent leggy growth.
Maintenance

Watering:

  • Water when the top inch of soil is dry, avoiding excessive moisture.
  • Reduce watering in dormant seasons.

Mulching:

  • Apply a thin layer of mulch to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Deadheading & Pruning:

  • Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage new growth.
  • Trim back if plants become leggy.

Fertilization:

  • Use a mild liquid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the active growing season.
  • Avoid over-fertilization, which may reduce flowering.
Pests and Diseases

Pests:

  • Aphids & Spider Mites – Control with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
  • Snails & Slugs – Use natural deterrents like diatomaceous earth.

Diseases:

  • Root Rot – Prevent by ensuring well-draining soil and moderate watering.
  • Powdery Mildew – Maintain good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
