Also, does oxalis go dormant? Oxalis grown from bulbs, and like all bulbs, requires a period of dormancy each year. Don't throw the plant in the garbage when it appears to be dying because with proper care, it will come back better than ever.

Also to know is, should I cut back my oxalis?

Cut back the foliage on potted plants to within 1 inch of the soil after the leaves begin to brown and die back during early summer. Stop watering and store the plant in a cool, dark place for two or three months.

How do you revive oxalis?

Decrease the water you give to the plant. When the leaves are all dry, cut away the dried stems and place the pot in a cool, dark place until February. Bring your shamrock plant back into a bright location in February. Begin watering the plant again.
