The triangular oxalis flower is not a very large culture that loves warmth and is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and original appearance. Thin layers grow from a not very long stalk, and it is on them that triangular foliage is formed. The color of the foliage is mostly dark purple or purple, but there are also types with green and red leaves. But closer to the heart of the deciduous layer, the shade may be slightly different. Also, with the onset of darkness, triangular oxalis gradually folds its foliage, as if closing an umbrella. In addition to the evening time of the day, she does this trick both in extreme heat and in the pre-rain period.

Triangular sorrel flowers are small in size, but exquisite in their appearance. They usually have five petals of a whitish or pale purple hue. They, like foliage, are folded in certain time and weather conditions. Also sensitive to touch and direct sunlight. If pollination has occurred, then at the place of the inflorescences, the fruits will gradually ripen, if you touch them, they open up. Small triangular sorrel seeds have a percentage of germination, but at home, it will still be difficult.
Triangular oxalis: home care
In fact, triangular oxalis does not require special attention. However, finding the right place in the house will not be a bad plus for the flower. Triangular oxalis loves the sun, so windows that face the west and east can suit her, but at the peak of solar activity, it is necessary to protect the plant with a curtain or blinds. A triangular oxalis flower will perceive poorly in a semi-illuminated place. Cold drafts and heating equipment will also not do her good. This culture does not have special requirements for temperature conditions, percentage of air humidity and soil-mixture.
The most optimal temperature for triangular acid will be:
- In the spring and summer period twenty to twenty four degrees of heat;
- In the autumn-winterwhen triangular oxalis enters a state of rest, sixteen to eighteen degrees of heat, lowering the temperature below is not recommended. If you have a garden, then from the spring period to the autumn period, sour cherry can be safely kept in the fresh air.

The summer period is the very time when triangular oxalis actively grows and develops. During this period, she needs good and stable watering. But it is important that the liquid does not linger in the earthen coma, because this can provoke rotting of the root system.If, after watering, excess water is glass in the pan, then it cannot be left, it must be drained. Also, a suitable drainage layer must be present in the pot. At the onset of the autumn period, triangular oxalis inhibits its growth, that is, it needs much less liquid for irrigation than in summer. The soil in which it grows only needs to be slightly moistened.
Also, the triangular sorrel flower has a time when it falls into a state of rest, it usually lasts no more than fifty days. After its awakening and the appearance of renewed foliage, you can resume the usual care.
You need to feed the triangular sour cherry only a couple of times in thirty days. For this purpose, you can use universal complex mineral fertilizers for decorative flowering crops. The sorrel will bloom a month after the growing season.
How to transplant and propagate triangular sorrel
You can transplant triangular sorrel every spring, for this purpose it is imperative to use fresh soil-mixture. Since the root system of a flower is of a surface type, the capacity should also be wide. This culture is unpretentious, so you can take any universal soil mixture for it. The soil for the triangular sour cherry flower should not be too saturated, because then the culture will grow its foliage, which can adversely affect its flowering.

Triangular acid can be propagated by dividing rhizomes. If the container for planting is large enough, then several seedlings can be planted at once. To do this, they need to be placed on a pre-moistened soil and covered with a layer of a couple of centimeters. With good care and proper attention, oxalis will grow and get stronger in just thirty to forty-five days.
If you have triangular sour sour seeds, then you can simply scatter them on the surface of a moistened substrate and water with a spray bottle. Then cover with a transparent film in order to create a greenhouse effect. After the appearance of the first shoots of triangular acid, the greenhouse can be dismantled.
