Oxalis Hedysaroides Rubra (Fire Fern)

4-8 inches

The Fire Fern prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth and foliage coloration. Place it near a window that receives filtered sunlight or provide supplemental grow lights. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If growing the Fire Fern outdoors, ensure it is placed in a partially shaded area to protect it from intense sunlight.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the Fire Fern when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain from the pot's drainage holes. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the environmental conditions and the plant's needs. During winter or periods of slower growth, reduce watering but ensure the soil doesn't completely dry out.

The Fire Fern (Oxalis Hedysaroides Rubra) thrives in well-draining soil that retains some moisture. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and indoor potting mix provides a suitable growing medium. Ensure the soil is loose and well-aerated to allow for proper root development.
