How to sow Oxalis seeds

Oxalis seeds sowing time

Oxalis is suitable for planting in spring and autumn, specifically from February to March in spring and from September to November in autumn. The temperature and humidity in these two seasons are suitable for seed germination.

Oxalis likes warmth, so the most suitable time to sow it is in early spring and late autumn every year. If reasonable fertilization and irrigation are carried out after sowing, Oxalis will bloom within a week.

Oxalis seeds sowed in summer

When planting Oxalis in hot areas in summer, a certain amount of shading is needed. Although Oxalis likes sunlight, it does not mean that Oxalis likes excessive direct sunlight. Excessive direct sunlight will cause its branches and leaves to wither, which is extremely detrimental to the growth of Oxalis.

How to sow Oxalis seeds

Oxalis is suitable for planting in loose, well-drained sandy soil. Soil that is too sticky is not conducive to its growth. Before planting, the land should be prepared and fertilized, and organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer should be applied. After sowing, cover the soil and water it once to keep the soil moist. Control the temperature above 5 degrees and wait for it to emerge.

Seed treatment

Before sowing Oxalis seeds, they must be germinated first. Spray a paper towel with water and place it on the seeds. Separate the seeds one by one and cover them with a lid. If the indoor temperature is above 15 degrees, they will generally germinate in 2-3 days.

Seed germination

The most suitable planting season for Oxalis is spring. After sowing in spring, with proper fertilizer and water management, it can germinate within a week.

Seed germination

After the Oxalis seeds germinate, management must be strengthened, watering must be done in time, and the soil must be kept moist for a long time. Generally, watering should be done after it is completely dry. Remember not to overwater. Oxalis likes potassium fertilizer. Some decomposed organic fertilizer can be applied during the seedling stage to promote its growth. Adequate light must also be provided, but avoid exposure to the sun.
