Pink Oxalis Flower Bulbs

Pink oxalis (Oxalis triangularis) is quite easy to grow from bulbs/corms, and it does well in pots.

🌱 How to grow pink oxalis from bulbs

1. Choose a pot
   • Use a 6–8 inch pot with drainage holes.
   • You can plant several bulbs together for a fuller plant.
2. Prepare the soil
   Use a light, well-draining mix:
   • 40% garden soil
   • 30% cocopeat
   • 20% compost/vermicompost
   • 10% sand or perlite
3. Plant the bulbs
   • Place the bulb/corm about 2–3 cm deep.
   • Keep the pointed/growing side upward if it is clearly visible.
   • Cover lightly with soil.
   • If planting multiple bulbs, keep about 5–7 cm spacing.
4. Water
   • Water thoroughly once after planting.
   • Afterwards, water only when the top 2–3 cm of soil becomes dry.
   • Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet because the bulbs can rot.
5. Light
   • Give bright indirect light or gentle morning sunlight.
   • Around 2–4 hours of morning sun is usually good.
   • Protect it from strong afternoon summer sun, especially in hot Indian weather.
6. Temperature
   • It grows actively in mild-to-warm conditions.
   • During very hot weather, keep the pot somewhere bright but protected from harsh afternoon heat.
