Oxalis stands out from other indoor plants with its unusual appearance.

Thin stems, but nice burgundy leaves look unusual. They contrast with violets, ficus, zamioculcas and other plants for which green is dominant.

Wood sorrel can lose its attractive appearance if not properly cared for. This happens especially often in winter. It is too early to despair, because the plant can be saved.

How to help wood sorrel

1. First, you need to find the elongated shoots. They should be cut off. Healthy shoots are not touched.

2. Next, the wood sorrel is sent to a dark and cool place. For example, this could be a closet or a pantry. In such conditions, the plant will gain strength.

3. The wood sorrel can be returned to its previous place after 30-45 days. To consolidate the effect, add fertilizer, which will help the flower fully recover and produce many new shoots.

The best choice is a complex mineral fertilizer for decorative foliage plants.
