Care tips

Oxalis ‘Mijke’ likes a regular watering routine and a sunny spot to show off its leaf movement. If it starts to fade or lose vigour, it may be going into dormancy — simply let it rest in a cool, dark spot for a few weeks before bringing it back into the light and resuming watering. Trim any tired leaves to keep it looking its best.
