🌿 Oxalis spiralis (Spiral Sorrel) Care Tips

Oxalis spiralis, also known as spiral sorrel or yellow wood sorrel, is a charming plant with clover-like leaves and bright yellow flowers, known for its distinctive spiral or curled leaf stems. It’s a low-growing perennial that works beautifully as groundcover, in pots, or even as a quirky indoor plant.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun.

• Outdoors: thrives in morning sun and partial shade in hot climates.

• Indoors: place near a bright window—east or south-facing is ideal.

• More sun = more flowers and compact growth.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry.

• Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, but never soggy.

• Reduce watering during dormancy (often in very hot or very cold seasons).

🌱 Soil

• Grows well in loamy, well-draining soil.

• Use general potting mix with added perlite or sand to improve drainage.

• Avoid compact or heavy soils.

💦 Humidity

• Tolerates average household humidity.

• Doesn’t need misting or high humidity—fairly adaptable.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 15–25°C (59–77°F).

• Can tolerate mild frost but grows best in cool to warm temperate climates.

• Protect from extreme heat or freezing temperatures.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Avoid overfeeding—Oxalis is a light feeder.

💤 Dormancy & Resting Period

• May go dormant in extreme conditions (cold or drought).

• If leaves die back, reduce watering and let it rest.

• Resume watering and it will usually sprout back from the bulbs or rhizomes.

🌿 Growth & Maintenance

• Forms clumps with delicate spiral-stemmed foliage and bright yellow blooms.

• Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy.

• Can be grown in containers, borders, or even hanging baskets for a trailing effect.

🍀 Styling Tip:

Lovely in ceramic pots, fairy gardens, or mixed containers with other small foliage plants. Its spiral stems add a whimsical twist to any plant display.

A symbol of vitality and natural rhythm, Oxalis spiralis adds movement, texture, and charm to any space.
