    Like others have posted... Oxalis. Now the trick is pulling it up before the little okra-like pods burst open sending the next generation out!

    It is probably either Yellow Trefoil or Yellow Oxalis.

    If it is the same thing I have in my lawn it is creeping buttercup. Very invasive, spreads, and really does "creep" over the ground. Hard to kill but do your best or it will take over!

    It could be a creeping jenny, which is a small yellow weed similar to a buttercup, only with smaller petals, it is a pretty little weed, but rather invasive and spreads very quickly. Get rid.

    o Place the pots in a bright window where they will receive indirect sunlight for most of the day. Oxalis requires temperatures of around 50 to 65 degrees F during the night and no greater than 75 degrees during the day. Temperatures above 75 degrees will usually trigger dormancy during the summer months. Water oxalis often enough to keep the soil barely moist. Allow the soil to dry out slightly in between watering. Fertilize oxalis plants only during periods of active growth and flowering. Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer according to package directions. Allow oxalis plants to go dormant during the summer months

    No worries - it is the nature of the plant to have purple tones on the undersides of the leaves.

    This could be Mealybug.
    Neem Oil is a good treatment.

    This could be a fungus. Treat the plant with fungicide, like neem oil, and see if this helps.
