Oxalis, also known as wood sorrel, is a plant that stands out from others due to its unusual appearance.

According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , it often happens that in the winter period of time a flower with burgundy leaves loses its attractive appearance.

The reason, as trivial as it may sound, lies in improper care.

To correct the situation, follow the following action plan.

1. Remove the wood sorrel from the pot and find any elongated shoots that should be removed with scissors. Healthy shoots should be left.

3. After the specified time, return the wood sorrel to its usual place. Fertilizing will help to consolidate the result.

For feeding, it is worth using a mineral composition that is intended for decorative foliage plants.
