Well it's me the lady who started this Oxalis discussion. I stopped watering mine and it is now dormant, I hope. Now my question is , is there a particular potting mix I should be planting it in? I have always used a Faffard potting soil, but don't know if that is what it needs now that I have it in my humid greenhouse instead of the dryer house. I have it in a regular hanging basket that plants come in, maybe that is too deep and it should have more drainage. All suggestions are welcome. I also have one of the purple leaved varities with pink flowers that crossed with one of the ones they sell on St Pat's day, that has white flowers. The result is a beautiful purple leaved one with a chevron on the leaf and with beautiful white flowers. I was going to try and introduce it but waited too long and Sunny Border beat me to it. Wish I knew what their proper name was, I have looked but can't seem to find ones that look like them. If I knew a name I could share some 'bulbs/rhizomes' with you all if you want them. Anita R.
