What To Do With An Oxalis Plant

[Rosie29]

I've had a beautiful Oxalis plant for years. It has been very good tempered- surviving non watering and over watering etc.
I was away for 3 weeks in September and I left it out of full Sun and when I came back it looked wonderful - a big globe of purple.
I took off all the dead stalks from around the bottom and watered and fed it.
Now it looks as if it's been sat on. The stalks and petals are all hanging down all round like a frill.
I can now see there are lots of little stumpy root like things on the surface. Should I cut off all the stalks and petals ? The petals look quite healthy. It's just the stalks won't stand up as normal. Thanks for any advice.

I have one for about 15 years. They “go to sleep for the winter “ Cut it down and keep it slightly damp. Not too much water

Yes I thought that was what it needed. But never done it before. Thanks zylaphone.
