How to keep Oxalis Dichondrifolia.
Water
Peonyleaf woodsorrel has moderate water requirements. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, and aim to keep the top 2 inches of soil consistently moist. Be careful not to overwater, as the bulb should not become soggy. While rainwater is the best option, you can also use tap water if it is not too hard or too cold.
Pruning
Peonyleaf woodsorrel is distinguished by its deep green leaves and vibrant blooms. To promote healthy growth and flowering, prune the plant in early spring by removing any dead stems. This will also improve air circulation. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools to maintain the plant's health and enhance its visual appeal.
