Nyctinastic Movements of Oxalis Regnellii

Here's a picture of my Oxalis Regnellii at night. As you can see the leaves have folded together very tightly.

Oxalis Regnellii Growing Strong

It's been a little over a month, and my Regnellii plants are doing amazing. :)

Despite breaking apart the bulbs, the Regnellii are growing just fine. In the future, I think I'll break the Regnellii bulbs apart as much as possible. Hopefully this will give the bulbs plenty of room to grow outward without getting in each other's ways. This should maximize the plant's reproduction.

In the next few days, I hope to post some pictures of the nyctinastic movements of the plants. It's really cool how they open and close their leaves with the day and the night.

The Bulbs Have Prouted

After 18 days, two of the four bulbs have just sprouted.  Because we've been getting a lot of bad weather, the growing conditions were mostly cold and dark.  The temperature in my house averaged about 60 degrees, but since I kept the plant by the window, the grow temperature was probably in the high 50s.

The soil I used does not have good drainage, yet the plants are still doing well.
