Follow these plant care tips to keep your oxalis thriving. 1. Bring your plants indoors during the winter months. Purple oxalis is dormant in the winter, but will still need some basic care to keep it healthy for the next growing season. Dig up your plants and store them indoors before the first frost of fall to keep your plants thriving year-round. If your plant wilts, this may mean that it is going dormant. Stop watering or feeding your plant during its dormancy. After the last frost of spring has passed, you can bring your plants back outdoors and resume watering.2. Fertilize once a month. Apply a diluted, slow-release liquid fertilizer to your plant once a month during the growing seasons. Do not fertilize your plant during its dormant months.3. Prune once a year. Prune away dead foliage before your plant enters its dormant periods (summer and winter).4. Choose the right soil. Loamy soil is ideal for purple oxalis, but any well-draining sandy soil mix should be healthy for the plant. If you’re growing your plant in a container, choose a standard, lightweight potting mix with good drainage.5. Water in moderation. Overwatering can lead to root disease, especially if the soil doesn’t drain properly. A buildup of powdery mildew or rust may be a sign of fungal disease caused by root rot.6. Keep an eye out for pests. Spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs are the three most common pests that infest purple shamrock. Treat them with an insecticidal spray or Neem oil applied to both sides of the leaves as well as the stems.
