Purple Oxalis HELP!!!!

7 years ago

My purple oxalis had been doing well, I’ve have it for about a week and a half. I had kept it in the nursery pot because I hadn’t wanted to repot it so soon.
The newer leaves are turning kind of green and the older ones are crisp if at the edges and also have some spotting as well, hoping someone can help me out!

It's looking a bit spindly. Is it getting as much light as in its previous home?

Mine is doing the same thing and has been doing so for ages. It still grows at a good pace, it just looks crappy. A few months ago I cut it completely to the soil in hopes that the new growth would be clear, but no such luck.

I too would love to know what the problem is. I have never seen any bugs on it but the leaves look eaten by something.

I've recently bought a new one for a gift and have yet to give it away...the new one doesn't have the nibbled/spotty leaves.

I think it needs its hibernation time
