Easily Grow Oxalis Triangularis Indoors

[@alittlewoowoo2214]

They should be planted with the scales on the tuber pointing up. This is much less of a struggle for the plant to grow. Love these guys.

[@SuburbanSill]

Oh thanks for the tip. I had the understanding that it didn't matter, but that makes sense!

[@LaMuchachaMorena]

Thanks for this!! I totally lol when you said "sometimes I feel a little photo nasty"

[@goodmoneykeroni]

I got some from Amazon already had roots in them 😍

[@dankmemes3542]

Oh thank you so much! A friend just gifted me a bunch of these bulbs, and I had no idea what to do with them.

[@SuburbanSill]

Awesome!! Have fun!

[@dankmemes3542]

Will do!

[@rme1383]

Did they grow?

[@dankmemes3542]

@@rme1383 They did, and they’re still beautiful after this year’s dormant period!

I just got some from a friend via mail! So cute!

SuburbanSill lmao sometimes I do too!

[@sprig6043]

I'm intrigued lol

This had me laughing so hard I was weak! Oh man. Great video!

[@mitabishnoigardentips6137]

Yes the bulbs are different and they look like little cones .Cute container for the beautiful plant ... purple Shamrock. Happy gardening . Stay connected

[@rama_indrawan]

Loving your Photo Nasty comment hahaha. Top !

[@mhrancharkajian2866]

You know that you can eat the leaves and the flower of the Oxalis. They had an acidic flavour like the lemon. Actually my grand mother used to put some leaves in the salad and the taste is amazing.

[@flatwaterbeliever7865]

Yes, the stem is tasty too!

[@salmon4869]

Don't have too much they're mildly toxic - we humans can take it because the dosage isn't that much but small pets will fall ill

[@shawnacampbell9401]

My bulbs are attached to larger beige colored double carrot type looking roots. Should I cut that part off and just replant the salmon colored corn bulbs only?

[@SuburbanSill]

Interesting! I would say don't cut it off, but I would be curios to see a picture. Can you send me one on Instagram @suburbansill?

[@leftycrafter]

Great video. Thanks. Do I just leave the bulbs on the ground for winter? (I live in zone 7a). What if I plant them indoors - anything to do during winter? Thanks.

[@SuburbanSill]

Yes, they are hardy in zone 7. If indoors, allow them to go dormant and die back...stop watering and remove from light and then bring them back out in spring and resume watering.

[@rosioruiz1237]

I have this plant and would like to send a friend a bulb, and ideas on how to? Don’t want to damage the bulb.

[@SuburbanSill]

Gently dig up the “bulb mass” and pull off the little bulb offsets or you can cut and divide the rhizomes. You won’t damage it. I think when you pull up the clump it will be pretty clear what is the offset and what is the main bulb. Does that help? The corms are like little skinny pine cones.

[@rosioruiz1237]

SuburbanSill yes, thank you. I found more then expected so I hope to make more plants 🌱

[@SuburbanSill]

Rosio Ruiz that’s great!! How fun!

[@jessl9523]

How do you get a full plant like they sell in stores this way? I followed this and placed the bulbs so far apart mine is just a few little plants in a pot while I would like it to be full and lush...

[@SuburbanSill]

Yea, I hear ya! So over time your corms will grow underneath and out out new sprouts, I think it just takes time to fill in. Also, you don’t live, or I assume, you don’t live in the conditions of a greenhouse so it’s hard to get those super lush plants. You can place the corms close together and then will help.

[@SuburbanSill]

Since you don’t live in the lush conditions of a greenhouse it is always going to be hard to get that look. Give it time, it will fill in as the corms grow and double up. You can always plant the corms closer together too, but I hear ya. The lush ones are so beautiful. You’ll get there.

[@jessl9523]

@@SuburbanSill Thank you, I didn't realize that the corms grew more than one leaf. That will be nice!

[@eve3558]

I planted this effortlessly 😂😂

[@Olivep3a_]

Funny and cute!! Thank you soooooo much!!!

[@shannonmclegg]

PHOTO NASTY! LOLLLLL This got me good

[@JXDirectorReels]

Are they toxic to cats?

[@SuburbanSill]

They are toxic. Apparently they have a very bitter taste that’s is supposed to act as a deterrent, but they are poisonous.

[@midoritukichi4088]

So many companies are ripping people off with seeds that I am afraid to order anything that isn't a plant.

[@SuburbanSill]

I totally understand! It is definitely buyer beware when it comes to seeds! I did have good luck with these tubers so if you are looking for some, I believe I put a link to the shop in my description.

[@mrszeppelinfan08]

Same

[@stitISH]

i bought so many different kinds of seeds , nothing germinated , very disappointing and loss of money , I swore off buying seeds

[@nakulnagra9055]

needed this thanks

[@SuburbanSill]

You bet! Are you growing Oxalis triangularis?

[@nakulnagra9055]

@@SuburbanSill yesss i am. I bought oxalis just today.

[@SuburbanSill]

Oh fun! Such a beautiful plant! I just love it!

[@kenjiro2676]

Mine still haven’t sprouted D: it’s been more than 2 weeks

[@SuburbanSill]

Hmmm, maybe give it some more time. Is there a chance you put them down in the soil too deep? I just put a few more corms in my pot yesterday to fill in. I'll keep watch and see how long it takes and get back to you. Maybe gently brush the surface and see if there is anything underneath working its way up.

[@Gretasaur]

Make sure your pot has drainage. Bulbs & tubers are susceptible to rot if the water can’t drain.

[@kenjiro2676]

Turns out the cold weather is slowing the growth down. They are making roots and new growth, right now I can see a few starting to sprout leaves now! Right now they are with me inside under T5HO grow light.

[@SuburbanSill]

@@kenjiro2676 Well that is good to know! I am glad you are seeing progress. let me know how the grow light works for you. I have had mediocre success with mine.

[@nicoleanne7497]

Hi, when you planted them, do you water them everyday?

[@SuburbanSill]

Just keep the soul evenly moist so maybe once a week or so.

[@Sephlarite]

You didn’t tell us about water and storage for germination, you showed us how to put dirt in a pot and a seed in a pot

[@aidensiessmayer5615]

Oh, I’m sure I have a way to screw this up.
