Need to know where to find Oxalis Regnelli, shamrock plant in fort worth or dallas, TX?
There is no such thing as a shamrock.
It is nothing more than a common clover.

Need Help with Oxalis Problem?
Been doing great for years - this year they look terrible. Leaves look like they have burn marks (not fertilized) - round dead areas. Someone mentioned rust? Also see bright yellow mold looking spots on some (not all). I cut off all leaves to get fresh growth but it seems to recurr. Looks like multiple problems. I have at least 4 varieties - some aare worse than others. Ideas? Suggestions?
Need Help with Oxalis Problem?
Are you sure you have Oxalis? That is a weed in most situations. Contact me at gjgjobs@yahoo.com. If you are cultivating "weeds" it may be from local pets spreading a weedkiller, the terrible weather, or other source? Let me know as I am interested in how you are trying to grow what is basically clover? gjgjobs@yahoo.com.
Reply:I'm not sure i can solve your problem in it's entirety --- but i do object to comments that have no foundation --- not everyone has the same tastes --- and your entitled to your " weed " if you will .
anyhow if you have ' barber poles ' ( that's a name of an oxalis )
not having a shot at you --- and indeed i should say ---oxalidaceae --- just in case i don't know what I'm talking about .
but look about your problem you've asked --- I'd not mind betting ( if you haven't over watered ) that it's nematodes , that are troubling your oxalis --- it is treatable --- and I'd suggest you go down your local nursery and ask them what they would recommend to treat such a problem .
i could confuse you with what i know --- but i live in north Queensland --- and probably a million miles away from a solution you would like to have spelt out to you . good luck

Need help with Oxalis Part 2?
I have decorative oxalis (triangularis, iron cross, etc) the ones with triangle-shaped leaves, green or purple color, and white or pink flowers. Not ground clover or common clover.
Seem to have a "burn hole" problems, along with yellow "mold"?? Look terrible. Recurs if I cut off leaves. Fenced yard - no recent fertilizers or weed control.
THANKS Everyone!
Need help with Oxalis Part 2?
Sorry to have called your Oxalis a weed in Part I. It is still a weed, however, when cultivated with care, a useful planting. I wonder if you have taken a recent soil sample of the garden for examination of the PH? This is a high alkaline plant. I would ASAP do the soil test to be on the safe side.
Have you recently mulched the bed? If so the mulch may have been the carrier of a disease that is infecting the plantings. Things such as compost, organic mulch, sludge, etc. often contain elements that we do not forsee as harmful.
The mold is an indication that all is not right with the soil or mulch.
If you have recently mulched the bed remove it immediately.
If you have not mulched, turn over as much soil as you can get to, in the bed and around the plant, to a four inch level. Let the soil lay disturbed for a week. Do this even if you did apply a mulch. Apply a two inch layer of shredded cedar mulch to your bed. This reduces molds and insects.
Continue to remove the dead leaves. Do this with shears and not by hand! When you do this action dip the shears in a small bucket of bleach and water (10% solution) between cuts. These ornamentals are highly sensitive to any sprays.
Here we treed carefully.
Once a week, after the removal of the dead, you can gently mist the plants with a spray bottle (if possible) with a mixture of Pure Ivory Liquid Dish Detergent and water at a ratio of 1tsp per quart. To this you can also add, much as I hate to say it, a sprinkle of straight Miricle-Gro. The Ivory will combat any insects that are attacking the suffering plants and the Miricle Gro help restore the plants resistance.
Consider spreading a granular 10-10-10 with mineral fertilizer over the soil before mulching. This balanced fert is both cheap and can be used now, early June, early september, and as a early boost if applied in late Nov. If you are not so opposed I would stongly suggest that you purchase a container of granular Sevin Insecticide for use now and in mid-August. This product will provide you with insect control (wide range) and is commonly used in flea collars for animals (relatively safe).
Sorry about the weed comment earlier. My mind forgot the many beautiful usages of the heathers, oxalis, and other so called weeds. gjgjobs@yahoo.com

What chlorophyl do Oxalis Triangularis have?
a,b, or c?
and what color light will they grow best under?
~Oxalis Triangularis (Purple Shamrock)~
and any idea how it get it to produce more plants?
thank you for your help!
What chlorophyl do Oxalis Triangularis have?
It has a and b. C is only present in certain types of algae.
Natural light generally works the best but if you don't have enough, try using a grow light.
Reply:Hibiscus Family Garden – We take a look at one of our 2005 theme gardens, the Malvaceae or Hibiscus Family Garden. There are around 95 genera in the Malvaceae ranging from herbaceous annuals and perennials to woody shrubs and a few trees. The reproductive parts of their flowers have uniquely similar characteristics. Flowers in this family contain several stamens that are fused into a column or stamen tube. Many filaments with anthers branch off this tube. Inside the stamen tube is another tube, the style that leads from the ovary at the base, up to the top where it develops several style branches on which the stigmas are attached. Pollen from the anthers sticks to the stigmas and germinates, elongating down the style to fertilize the ovary.

Iam trying to find out about a plant I bought? It is called oxalis?
Oxalis
Oxalis is the largest genus in the wood sorrel family Oxalidaceae. Of the approximately 900 known species in the Oxalidaceae, 800 belong to Oxalis. Many of the species are known as Wood Sorrel or Woodsorrel. The genus occurs throughout most of the world, except for the polar areas; species diversity is particularly rich in tropical Brazil and Mexico and in South Africa.
These plants are annual or perennial. The leaves are divided into three to ten or more round, heart-shaped or lanceolate leaflets, arranged in a whorl with all the leaflets of roughly equal size. The majority of species have three leaflets; in these species, the leaves are superficially similar to those of some clovers, though clovers differ in having the leaflets not in a whorl, and of unequal size with two smaller side leaflets and one larger central leaflet. The flowers have five petals, usually fused at the base, and ten stamens; the petal colour varies from white to pink, red or yellow. The fruit is a small capsule containing several seeds. The roots are often tuberous, and several species also reproduce vegetatively by production of bulbils, which detach to produce new plants.

acetosella
The edible tubers of the Oca (O. tuberosa), somewhat similar to a small potato, have long been cultivated for food in Colombia and elsewhere in the northern Andes mountains of South America. The edible leaves of Scurvy-grass Sorrel (O. enneaphylla) were eaten by sailors in southern South America as a source of vitamin C to avoid scurvy.
A characteristic of many members of this genus is that they contain oxalic acid, giving the leaves and flowers a sour taste, refreshing to chew in small amounts. However, in large amounts, these species are toxic, and interfere with proper digestion. In the past, it was a practice to extract crystals of calcium oxalate for use in treating diseases and as a salt called "sal acetosella", or "sorrel salt" (also known as "salt of lemon").
Several species are grown as ornamental plants in gardens, while others, notably O. pes-caprae and O. corniculata, are pernicious invasive weeds in cultivation away from their native ranges. A species which regularly has leaves with four leaflets, O. tetraphylla, is sometimes misleadingly sold as "four-leaf clover", taking advantage of the mystical status of four-leaf clovers.

How can I get rid of oxalis from my garden?
Weed that has little bulbils
How can I get rid of oxalis from my garden?
Careful application of RoundUp. I would suggest a paint brush.
Reply:1. Simple hand weeding!
2. Any systemic weedkiller ie roundup or other glyphosates, but needs re-application due to the dormant seeds waiting to spring up after your first weedkills.
Oxalis is a really cool plant though I wish I had it growing wild in my garden. It doesn't smother out the other plants and it has a nice little flower. Have you ever tried eating it?
It is ultra mega lemony dude!
I copied this off plants for a future.
Leaves - raw or cooked. A delicious lemony flavour, the leaves make a refreshing, thirst-quenching munch and are also added to salads, soups, sauces etc.
Flowers - raw. A decorative addition to salads.
However you shouldn't eat too many.
Reply:Well, Oxalis germinates from seed in both containers and in field grown situations. It is not difficult to control with preemergence herbicides like isoxaben (Gallery), pendimethalin (Pre-M, Pendulum, others), prodiamine (Barricade, Regalkade, and others), isoxaben + trifluralin (Snapshot). However, once oxalis is allowed to germinate and produce tubers they are almost impossible to remove by hand because the tubers break-off and only the shoots are removed.

How do I get Oxalis out of my cactus and succulent potted Gardens?
I live in a very windy desert area and it has spread to several expensive Gardens. I have thought about putting some of the pebbles with white glue next to the plants. What do you think?
How do I get Oxalis out of my cactus and succulent potted Gardens?
Seeing the word 'Oxalis' brought horrid memories flooding back - it is a nightmare!!
We bought an innocent looking pot plant which was so cool because it was a mound and you could stick your finger into it and the 'hole' would disappear. They called it a "Mind your own business" plant.
I put it on the lawn one day to water it and the little yellow flowers popped their evil seeds on the lawn.
A year later it had spread over a thirty square yard area.
I researched, read everything, even went onto a radio gardening programme to ask the experts - spent a fortune but nothing worked.
I would try to remove every sign of them by changing the compost, but if any flowers are there the seeds will pop and spread to the new compost, so chop off all flowers beforehand - do this in a sink or bathtub if possible
Good luck!
Reply:Carefully dig down to the "bulbs" using a weed fork and remove by the roots.
