Great video. They are weeds here in California. I have friends who have them as house plants and i wonder why. I will take a closer look next time. I bet they are beautiful like these. I learned a lot. Thank you for such a fun and informative video. 😊
Thank you for sharing, that's interesting to know. Do you know which varieties? Lots available, so I'm sure you can find a nice variety that's different from the weedy ones 🙈🌱
@@growyourwellbeing I don’t know what kind they have. I’ll take a look when I’m over next. The weedy ones are a pest in our California forests. Groups of volunteers go out to remove them . Still hard to get rid of them. I really did learn a lot from your video. Nice that you had so many different kinds for us to look at. Thank you
I laughed when you mentioned that last one! Here in the US, I've only ever seen oxalis as a decorative plant, and that does look nice to me. There is a tiny green species that can grow as a "weed" but no idea what it might be. I keep my o. triangularis active all year, but religiously dead-head any sign of flowering until Spring through Summer. They become less active during the Winter like any other houseplant. The main issue with these indoors is that they do need the most light you can provide. Their leggyness is just part of the growth habit, but it's quite unattractive when you see them become more stem than leaves. Those specimens with the unusual flowers could very well be a totally different genus. No idea how to find genetic testing on those, but it's interesting to think we're seeing something new.
I can never decide whether I want an Oxalis or not. Some of them look amazing but they just look too much like garden plants to me. I prefer the plants that are more tropical and you’d never see outside where I live.
Also I like hearing the birds! I have an African Grey Parrot. She doesn’t really chirp, just talks and copies all the household noises, especially the cats meowing. 😂 What kind of birds do you have?
