Planting instructions
While growing in containers, fill the container with good potting soil, preferably a few handfuls of sand. The container should have drainage holes so that the bulbs are not left in the wet compost. Place the pot in the sun for optimal flowering. In general, the more shade, the fewer flowers. Plant the bulbs 5-10 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart. No matter which angle you set it will grow, so you don't have to worry about which side is on top. Water the plant as needed during active growth. Ideally, water only when the compost in the container feels dry. When planting in garden beds, dig small holes about 5-10 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart, drop them into them and water them well. Water the plant as needed during active growth.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Oxalis Versicolour bulbs are generally resistant to common pests and diseases. However, you may encounter fungal diseases such as aphids and powdery mildew. Check your plants regularly and, if necessary, use biological pest control methods or appropriate fungicides to correct problems immediately.
soil
The best soil for growing Oxalis Versicolour bulbs should be well-drained and rich in organic matter. A mixture of sandy loam and compost makes a good growing medium. Maintain a pH of 6-7 for optimal growth and nutrient uptake.
spot
Choose a bright location exposed to indirect sunlight or partial shade for the Oxalis Versicolour bulb. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as this can cause leaf scorch. A well-ventilated room with good air circulation will help prevent the development of fungal diseases.
temperature
Oxalis Versicolour bulbs grow at temperatures between 15°C and 24°C. Do not expose to extreme heat or freezing. Provide a cool, frost-free environment during winter so that the bulbs can survive and grow again the following spring.
watering
Water the Oxalis versicolor bulbs regularly to keep the soil moist without dampening it. Wait until the top 1 inch of soil is slightly dry between waterings to prevent rot. Adjust the frequency of watering according to the temperature and humidity of your home.
how to harvest
Oxalis Versicolour flowers are grown primarily for ornamental purposes, but the flowers can be harvested if desired by carefully plucking them from the stems. This can be done when the buds are fully open and in full bloom. Enjoy the delicate beauty of flowers in flower arrangements, or enjoy flowers as a charming accent in your interior design.
