Oxalis Spiralis Vulcanicola Plum Crazy

Oxalis spiralis ‘Plum Crazy’ is a unique variety of the Oxalis species, known for its vibrant, deep plum-colored foliage and striking, spiral-like growth pattern. This variety is often grown as an ornamental houseplant or in warm, outdoor gardens, where it thrives in well-drained soil and bright, indirect light. The plant produces delicate, typically pink or purple flowers, which contrast beautifully against the dark foliage.
It’s a relatively low-maintenance plant but enjoys being watered regularly, though it should never sit in stagnant water to prevent root rot. The “spiralis” part of the name refers to the way the leaves curl or spiral, adding a distinct texture to the plant.
How to care
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the delicate leaves.
Soil: Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Let the top inch or two of soil dry out between waterings.
Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out before watering again. The soil should remain slightly moist, but not soggy.
Humidity: It enjoys moderate humidity, but typical indoor humidity levels are fine. If the air is very dry, you can increase humidity with a pebble tray or a humidifier.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (65-75°F or 18-24°C), so avoid cold drafts or placing it in areas with temperatures lower than 50°F (10°C).
