By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Buttercup Oxalis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Just noticed the brown on the edges. Is it too much water or do I have another problem with the plant? Any solutions appreciated 😀

I am@obsessed with the green shamrock my@mom gave my for St. Patty’s. Her name is Siobhan. I’ve never cared for one before and apparently they go dormant during the summer. Anyone have any experience with that ?

Is this a good spot? I wanted to know if this is a good spot for my purple shamrocks. I just got her, and I don’t know much about the plant yet (only what I’ve googled today) + she seems a little dramatic. The plant was only $3 so I had to get her! 🤩 The window is west facing but she is behind a sheer curtain :) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner #FloweringPlants #FalseShamrock #PurpleShamrocks #help
