• Thrives in bright, indirect light.
• Can tolerate partial sunlight, but avoid intense midday sun, which may scorch the leaves.
• Too little light may cause the plant to become leggy or the leaves to lose vibrancy.

• Water moderately, keeping the soil slightly moist but not soggy.

• Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.

• Reduce watering in winter when the plant goes dormant.

While Oxalis isn’t a top-rated air purifier like Snake Plants or Peace Lilies, it still helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
