World of Oxalis

Welcome to Oxalis.org, my long awaited personalized website dedicated to the plant, Oxalis.

Though Oxalis has a bad reputation of being a widespread cosmopolitan weed, many exciting species are discovered and cultivated mainly from tropical and subtropical regions and are grown as perennials. Each individual species in itself is a prized possession and with proper care can grow successfully year after year.
Here in New York City, it can be difficult to give Oxalis an ideal condition to sustain good growth. Part of my objective is to offer suggestion and information on how it is possible to grow Oxalis outside even during adverse conditions and still create an acceptable environment to allow normal growth and flowering habits of the plants.
Though one persons methods should never be considered the gold standard on how these plants are grown; I only offer advice on how I have been successful and perhaps the reader will take some valuable bits of information from it.

I learned long ago that really only the Regnellii species grew indoors. I eventually figured out that in order for winter growing plants to survive the harsh NYC winters, I had to make a three tiered cold frame, which is heated by using a house fan and accordion tubing. The house fan is situated near a radiator. Though it is not air tight, I can keep the temperature 10 to 15 degrees warmer inside than the outside air temperature. Problems arise when the temperatures fall below 15 degrees F.
