When and how to transplant?
Young oxalis actively builds up the root system, therefore transplant is required annually... It is recommended to carry out manipulations in the period from April to May, when the plant finally "woke up" after a period of dormancy. An adult flower requires a transplant only in a few cases:
- shoots have grown too much;
- plant disease.
The transplant is carried out by the method of transshipment of an earthen coma:
- Carefully remove the acid lily from the old pot.
- Pour a drainage layer (expanded clay, perlite, polystyrene) on the bottom of the new container.
- Move the acid sour into a new pot.
- Fill the voids with soil.
Water the flower abundantly at the end of the transplant.
What kind of soil to use?
The easiest option is to buy a ready-made universal soil for indoor plants in a specialized store. You can prepare the soil mixture yourself: mix turf, humus, leafy soil, peat, river sand in equal amounts.
The universal primer is completely ready for use.Self-made soil must be treated from parasites by calcining or short-term freezing, processing with a weak solution of potassium permanganate is allowed.
What kind of pot is needed for a plant?
For growing sour cherry at home ceramic flowerpots with a hole in the bottom are recommended to drain excess moisture, plastic containers are also acceptable. The pot should be shallow, but wide, since the root system of a perennial is nodules growing in breadth.
Each subsequent container during transplantation should be 2-3 cm larger than the previous one. You cannot use too large flowerpots.: in this case, the plant will spend all its energy not on flowering, but on building up the root mass.
How to Provide Proper Oxalis Care
If there is not enough light for the flower, it will stop blooming, the leaves will turn pale and fall. Therefore, the north window is not suitable for the plant. If you take good care of the acid at home, it will look like in the photo.
Kislitsa is demanding to comply with the water regime. The earth should not dry out, but delicate plants cannot stand moisture stagnation either.
Winter watering should be sparse, just not to dry out. Leaves love when droplets of soft settled water collect on them. You need to fertilize the delicate plant little by little, using half the recommended dose.
Reproduction
Several methods are used to increase the acid sour population. The most popular are described below.
Tubers

Until the roots appear, a constant temperature should be maintained at + 10 ° C, periodically moisten the ground. The first roots will appear after 15-20 days... One month after planting, the temperature should be raised to + 20 ... 25 ° C.
Advice! Tubers ready for planting in a permanent place should be washed in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection.
By dividing the roots
During a planned transplantation of acid, you need to carefully, using a sharp knife, divide the mother bush into several parts. Each new plant must be transplanted into an individual cup.
Seeds
You can sow seeds both in separate and in common pots. It is important not to deepen the planting material too much, otherwise the seedlings will have to wait a long time. The containers must be covered with plastic wrap to maintain the internal microclimate until sprouts appear, the humidity must be at a constant level. Viable seeds sprout 10-14 days after sowing.
Attention! You can transplant young acid lilies into pots when 4 real leaves appear.
By cuttings
Using a sharp knife, separate the stalk from the mother bush, plant it in a container with wet sand. After 20 days, the cutting will give roots and will be ready to be transplanted to a permanent location.
