I have my first of these & had no idea they would take a winter nap. Thanks so much for this vid! I'd have been sad thinking it died if this happens. It's growing a ton now, I love it. Love your content, thanks for all the great info. 💚
You dont actually need to repot it. Just let it sit dry and dark in the winter. Slowly introduce it in light in spring. meanwhile only water once very lightly and it will come back slowly to life with the amount of light its getting.
Perfect video! I kinda knew they went dormant....but I did not know I can help by repotting! So I have been paying attention to mine with one leaf.. trying to help it somehow..so I am going to try the repot for sure and that is so exciting! Wow yours did well! So excited to try this...thanks so much! I have a purple and two mini pots that I don't take care of a green and another type so I will give them a fresh start too....At our local store last year there was a green with a dark maroon on the leaves type...and I passed it up and still regret that I did not purchase it....since I have never seen it since...ok happy repotting!
It definitely helps to freshen them up by repotting. I found mine didn't produce many new leaves last summer so I decided to force it into dormancy. Glad I did! It's also good to see how much your plant's bulbs have multiplied since the last time you did it.
I love your videos! How can I force dormancy if I don’t have a place in my home that is cool? Outdoors is not an option. If I lower the temperature to the recommended dormancy temperature, I will go dormant myself!
I watered mine slightly just like this and my soil got mold on it. I dug up a few tubers and they are moldy as well. Is there any chance for them? Really appreciate your knowledge and video!
thank you SO MUCH for this! i was extremely worried that i was killing my husband's 2-year-old oxalis triangularis. we live in colombia (south america, not canada) so there's not really a season change, but it's been unusually cold and overcast for a few months now. the plant was becoming leggy and crispy and a lot of new growth was dying. i was worried i killed it by moving it away from the window, thinking it was because of being sunburnt. all the signs point to dormancy, though, and this video gives me hope! :D (i came here from your newest video, A Tour of My Best and Worst Houseplants) for places without seasons, would it be best to "force" it into dormancy once a year, or let it decide if it wants to go nigh-nights?
I planted these in my garden last year, covered with mulch over winter. Now that it's spring, I checked underneath the mulch & see thin transparent hair-like antenna popping through the soil but nothing else. I check weekly but no change. It's been a month. Why isn't it growing? Help!
@SheffieldMadePlants I think they are coming back they're just taking a very long time. I don't know if there is something that I can do to help nurture them to come back strong. Whatever is there is alive. It's just very small and fragile looking. And it's very low in the soil. Do they normally take this long to come back?

I'm new to my Shamrock plant and this video was absolutely helpful. Thank you!
Glad you liked it thanks
I just got a purple oxalis and did not know much about this plant as it was a present from a new neighbor. I found your video very helpful!!❤🍀
Thanks Cristina glad you found it useful
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes, and thanks to your insightful info my oxalis is thriving!!,❤️🍀
I have oxalis growing out doors and a few in pots. Beautiful plant.
I love it
Mines going crazy! It has about 100-200 bulbs coming out of the dirt. Idk if I should plant into a bigger pot or not.
If it's looking too crowded then maybe
Supposed it depends where you live… mine doesn’t go dormant, I do trim all leaves of every now and then they just keep growing
6:50 7:07 you can see the leaves move!
Thank you, great tips!!

Thank you so much. I’ve learned much watching your videos.
My pleasure 😊
When you repot a plant and replace the soil with new nutrient dense soil, what do you do with the old soil?
Normally discard
I guess I should’ve kept them, instead of throwing them in the garbage.😢
I love your videos! How can I force dormancy if I don’t have a place in my home that is cool? Outdoors is not an option. If I lower the temperature to the recommended dormancy temperature, I will go dormant myself!
Go for dark and dry and it should be fine

Maybe if you let them dry out and pot them into a different pot

Thank you. Glad it was helpful. Yes it’s a good idea to force dormancy. Keep it somewhere cool and dark and don’t water for a couple of months
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you so much! i'll take it to a dark place and follow the steps in this video to bring it back in a few months

Do they go dormant during warm weather? 😅 Because mine was resurrecting itself
They often don’t go dormant. I force it to for a healthier plant
I run my spent potting soil through the composter. What do you think about this?
A great thing to do

Might have been too cold?

@@kjnyankee if you can see action then they should come out eventually
Is mine lacking nurtients or sunlight? It sometimes get tingest of purple but typically is green. Or is it a different species?
Maybe light if it’s lacking colour
