How to make Oxalis germinate and how to plant bulbs

1. How to make Oxalis germinate

If you want to make Oxalis germinate, you must first consider whether the timing is right. Oxalis is usually planted in September and October each year. At this time, the weather is cool and the bulbs of Oxalis feel the coolness and will germinate automatically, telling you that it is time to plant it. If the bulbs of Oxalis have not sprouted by the end of October and the temperature is below 30℃, plant the unsprouted bulbs. If the temperature is above 30℃, you can put them in the refrigerator for low-temperature germination, and wait until the bulbs sprout before planting them.

2. How to plant Oxalis bulbs

1. Planting bulbs: Prepare moist soil, place the bulbs of Oxalis flat on the soil surface, cover the ungerminated bulbs with 0.5 cm of soil, cover the germinated bulbs with 1 cm of soil, the buds should be completely covered by the soil, flatten the soil surface, and wet the soil with a sprinkler.

2. Maintenance after planting: After planting, place the potted plants in a well-ventilated place with diffused light. Wait for the soil to turn white and dry, then use a spray bottle to wet the soil and keep the soil surface moist. After the bulbs germinate and emerge from the soil, you can water them normally. Wait for the soil to turn white and dry and water them thoroughly.

3. Apply thin fertilizer frequently: After the Oxalis grows 2-3 true leaves, move the potted plant to the south balcony to get more sunlight and ventilate it frequently. Water the bulbs with special nutrient solution once every half a month and apply thin fertilizer frequently until the Oxalis blooms.

4. Note: Oxalis loves to grow tall and straight, so you must get more sunlight during your daily care. If the variety itself is tall, such as the two-color ice cream, you can build a support for the plant, which can also increase ventilation and reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests.
