How to fertilize Oxalis Latifolia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
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 Oxalis Latifolia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Does anyone know what is going on with my shamrock plant? I have it next to a window that gets bright sun through most of the day now that it’s summer. (This is westward facing.) He had needed a grow light this winter, but I’ve turned it off. He’s been in the same pot for over 2 years. I use a water meter when watering. I have not fertilized. #GreenShamrock #Shamrock

What’s up with the leaves? Is it sun damage? I genuinely have no clue. No sign of pests and I only ever bottom water it. It is right by an eastern facing window and gets a few hours of morning sun.

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
