Do I pull off or cut off the leaves? Is it just the leaves or do you pull out the entire stem (this is what I’ve been doing all summer when a stem dies and it seems to be working)? It’s been growing like crazy until about a week ago and it suddenly started looking dead...wilted.
This article will help you.

We have spent a year replacing our grass lawn with Herniaria Glabra (Dwarf Rupturewort - Green Carpet) in our backyard. Yellow oxalis is taking it over. There are other weeds, but the oxalis is the worst. Is there a selective herbicide that we can spray on the Herniaria Glabra lawn to remove yellow oxalis and other weeds? It's almost impossible to pull out yellow oxalis without also removing the Herniaria Glabra Thank You Jack Jobes
Oh boy... This is an aggressive one. You will have to choose any herbicide that is selective for oxalis. They will all be labeled as such, and can be found with a google search. Now, you may want to treat very light at first to make sure that it only affects the target plant, but these herbicides are pretty spot on with correct treatment use.
What could cause a sudden disease in four oxalis plants located in the same spot for 40 years? They seem to be dying with spots on their leaves for not apparent reason. No change in care for over 40 years! Can you give me a specific address to send photos and I can do that
You can send photos here to this inbox. This will help me to pinpoint, exactly, what is going on here. My best guess without seeing it for myself would be a fungal infection. These are pretty resilient, and can fight it off with a little help. You can apply wettable sulfur to the area to kill off the fungal infection in the soil. Cut out any infected growth, and treat the soil, and you will start to see the new growth return to normal. What spots are on the old growth won't disappear, but you will be cutting those off anyway.
My plant has gotten very leggy like it is reaching for sun. It is in a south window and I water only when the soil is dry, I put it in a small pot with regular potting soil. It has never bloomed.
I believe that container is too small for the plant. There are tubers, similar to potatoes under the soil, and they will need a little space to stretch out. They do seem to be reaching a little for the light, but this can also be because the pot is too small. It also looks as if the soil level is a little lower than it should be. They should be planted slightly deeper, as this can cause them to flop over as well.
I see what appears to be a few flower pods that have already withered away These flowers will fade rather quickly.
Also, as an interesting side note: These are edible if you only eat a few leaves. It has a taste similar to green grapes.

I can kill it ok. BUT the faster I kill the faster and more prolific is the new growth. Help ? Also I can not bring up your existing answers to this question on hour site. I know you have already answered this. Thank you Adrienne Hay
My preferred method is boiling water! This will take care of any pest plant. Pour it on the roots, and any shoots coming up. If you can't beat 'em, eat em'! These have a slightly sour green grape flavor... With a few applications, though, it should take care of your problem.
They are house plants. I had shamrock plants before; I had 2 of them that lived for 5 years. I never over watered them. Any idea of what the problem is? I don't have a photo to upload.
Unfortunately, it will be hard to say what is going on without a photo, but my best guesses would be either a lack of light, or improper planting depth. It may not be deep enough in the soil. A photo will be necessary to get a better idea of what is going on.
In the meantime, this article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/shamrock/growing-shamrock-plants.htm
will be time of dormancy for them? Will they show it, or do I make them go into dormancy?
