4. Disease prevention and weeding

Sufficient light must be provided to raise wood sorrel, but proper shade is required in summer to prevent the plant from being sunburned. The soil should be loose and fertile, with good drainage and air permeability, and it also needs a certain amount of fertility. Watering should be controlled during daily maintenance, and flooding should not be carried out, otherwise it will affect the respiration of the roots. Spray regularly to prevent diseases and do a good job of weeding.

1. Sufficient light

Oxalis loves light. It needs to be provided with sufficient light, usually placed in a sunny place. It should be noted that since the plant is intolerant to strong light, it needs to be properly shaded in summer or placed in a semi-shaded environment to avoid leaf burn due to exposure to the sun.

2. Fertile soil

Oxalis has strong adaptability to soil and can grow in many places, but if you want it to grow more lushly, it must be planted in sandy loam rich in humus. If you prepare your own soil, you can use garden soil with an appropriate amount of river sand, which can provide a certain degree of drainage. At the same time, use organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer to supplement nutrients for its growth.

3. Control watering

Oxalis likes a humid climate, but not too humid. Therefore, the amount of water must be controlled when watering it. Usually, sprinkler irrigation is used, and flood irrigation is not allowed. Otherwise, water accumulation will easily occur and affect the breathing of the roots. In this case, excess water needs to be drained out and ventilation must be done to accelerate water evaporation.

4. Disease prevention and weeding

Because wood sorrel grows densely, ventilation and light transmission at the bottom are often poor, so disease prevention work needs to be done. Triadimefon should be sprayed during high temperature seasons to prevent powdery mildew. In addition, if there are weeds, they need to be removed in time to avoid competing for nutrients and being detrimental to the development of the plants.
