They're so beautiful, aren't they!

That's true, the plant from this video is still going strong on my balcony after 6 months and I love it 😀

They're easy to misidentify because of the leaves 🍀 very similar

Hi Sarosh, so glad the video helped you! Drinkies 😂😂 you do you, it will definitely be worth it 😉

Too true 👍

Glad you enjoyed it, Toes 🙂 hopefully you'll see you Oxalis again!

Coming soon 😀

Thank you for your comment and idea, Neil 🙂 I talk about plants that I like and are interesting and that others are interested in too but I'm very open to video suggestions! As for the gin with herbs, I've got some shorts planned with gin (my favourite alcoholic drink 😋) and would love suggestions for those too. I know you're a pro!

Hi M C, it sounds like the light might be problem especially if they have very long stems. Iron Cross like full sun but can tolerate dappled shade and if they're not getting enough light they'll stretch or elongate their stems to reach it. It could be that they're also heading towards dormany,- at this time of year Iron Cross bulbs fall dormant to later emerge in the early spring, yours are being they're being stimulated by the lights so they might be in a kind of half dormancy. Don't water them too much either of the bulbs could rot. In my experience I've found some plants simply prefer being outside, ivy is also one of them. If you have an outdoor space Id leave your Iron crosses outside for a bit and let nature take over :)

I grow them in normal soil but cocopeat is a good alternative. Just be aware that cocopeat has a high ph so if bulbs or any other plants you want to grow have a specific ph requirement, keep in my you might need to change your growing medium.

@@balconiagarden Thanks for the info ❤️✔️

Hi Leslie, you haven't done anything wrong 🙂 any plant grown in a pot will dry out quicker than in the open soil and oxalis don't seem to hold water well. The ones I've grown inside look like that too and I grow them as a hanging plant with the stems falling down. The reason they've gone spindly is because they're not getting enough light so they elongate their stems to reach the light. You can't reverse the stem elongation so I would just enjoy their beautiful leaves and see them as a hanging plant this season 😄 I've also found my oxalis have grown the best outside, the maintenance was next to nothing as the rain watered them for me and they had the perfect amount of light. Hope that helps! 😃

@@balconiagarden thank you so much for putting my mind at rest. I love this plant so much and I have ordered some bulbs so I can have them all over the house lol

Hi Tina, you can leave them for up to three months in a dark place once the leaves have died back. Once you see foliage staring to emerge bring it back into the light and start Watering. This is normally around autumn but depends on the cultivar abd conditions 🙂

Hi, 2 main reasons for drooping. First is not enough water and second is the plant is too far away from the light and is stretching to find it, make the stem longer, thinner and weaker in the process which leads to drooping. It could also being dying back before going into dormancy, which is perfectly normal and they'll grow back. Hope that helps 🙏

Hi Chelsea, I'll be doing a Oxalis bulb planting video shortly! Thank you for your patience :)
