    I don't think there is anything wrong with your Shamrock Plant.
    Most people are not aware that the plant is actually a bulb.
    It needs a rest and dormant period.

    During dormancy the plants leaves will die back. Your plant will require a darkened location, no fertilizer and light watering.
    When dormancy breaks the plant will began growing again.

    Yes, when the shoots die back, your plants will appreciate being moved into darkness and the other hibernation conditions described in the article. When new shoots appear, you can move it back into the light and resume normal care.

    Oxalis prefer morning sun and filtered light later in the day. The development of legginess is usually an indication that there's not quite enough light.

    For water, that depends on your soil (well draining or moisture holding) and how dry the surrounding air is. Try watering every 3 to 4 days. If you see wilting, add water. Assuming this corrects the situation, you now have a good idea of the ideal timing for your situation.
