Shamrock (Oxalis) White Spots: Light, Water, and Water Quality

Oxalis with white spots/black dots 3 meters from SW window needs more light (move 1 meter closer). Water only when top quarter soil dry. Fertilize sparingly (every other month, half strength). Use filtered/distilled water if tap is hard. Repotting won't help. Some leaf blemishes are normal.
