Indoor Plants

Oxalis are not only excellent houseplants because they come in a range of colors and sizes, but also because they are so prolific. They are, in fact, SO prolific that they are considered to be weeds to gardeners and greenhouse growers worldwide. Many will go through a dormant phase in the wintertime if kept as a houseplant. A significant portion of the play may die and go into dormancy if not receiving enough light. Give a dose of fertilizer and more light and it’ll grow back. Many Oxalis, like most legumes and a few other plants, exhibit a phenomenon known as nyctinasty. Nyctinasty is a form of rhythmic circadian nastic movement of plants in response to the onset of darkness.
