The fuss-free Oxalis prefers to be positioned somewhere with bright, indirect light.
Water when it's started to dry out about a third of the way down in the pot and reduce watering in winter when it may die back completely, re-emerging in the spring.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
