I bought bulbs online about a month ago (January 2023) and am enjoying watching them slowly poke their heads through the soil now a month later (February 2023) 💜
These are weeds that grow all over my garden. I can’t get rid of them! I decided to uproot one from the bulb and I’m gonna see how it does in a pot inside! Thanks for the great video!
The leaves and roots are edible, they are a vegetable grown in Peru. Try throwing some leaves in your scrambled eggs or stir fry. Or boiling the small roots. If you cant get rid of it you could eat it. Or you could sell it, it goes for 20 to a few hundred bucks per plant online.
Also, once your plants begin to bloom, harvesting and planting seeds is super easy. My 3” pot is now in a 14” pot after only five years, and I was even able to fill an 8” hanging pot for my sister. 😸✌️
I was looking forward to see how you bring them out from the first pot that they were in it!!! that would be the point for me 😐 which I didn't see it on the video! but thank you for the rest of the information you mentioned 👌🏽
Hi, your plant is edible and was grown as a food crop in Peru for thousands of years before it was culturally appropriated to be sold as a house plant and those leaves are edible. You could have it as your display in the center of the table and garnish your sushi or steak with it too. Also, in Northern California where I live the internet said it would grow outside in shade. This worked fine in the shade of trees but not in the shade of roses. Highly susceptible to rose rust, it only took days for all the leaves to rot off two plants. Be very careful of that, I suggest keeping it away from roses and plants that are known carriers of rose rust. Now I have to spray two of my edible house plants with a chemical and not eat them. There's a green version too, you should get it, and you should check out the description of it on Peruvian webpages about how they eat it, even the Peruvian government has a webpage describing it as a food crop! Try eating a few leaves as long as you haven't used any chemicals. It's safe to eat unless you have kidney stones, if you do you should only eat it raw in small amounts or cook it!
@Steven Bryant Humboldt County, California and in the redwoods here we have Oxalis Oregana also known as redwood sorrel and some non-native Oxalis species that grow well here as weeds, and some that people have planted as house plants or ornamental plants in their landscaping, so I started to research it and collect all the species in pots and try to find out traditional names for them and recipes for them in food and medicinal uses and honestly what I found is too long to type in a TH-cam comment, I might have to divide it into numerous videos because it's pages of information if written down, but many many species have traditional food and medicinal uses and some grow in soil or at altitudes that other food crops cannot and most can prevent scurvy making them highly useful and underutilized. One notable one is Oxalis Spiralis which can grow at 18,000 feet in volcanic rock in Peru and also in garden dirt in my yard at sea level in California that is edible and high in vitamin C, definitely more tolerant of numerous conditions than the Triangularus from the lower altitudes of Peru, but with smaller and tougher leaves that still taste the same. And Oca, which I do not have growing, but is apparently now sold at some Whole Foods. At some point I will have a video or several, but some of my chickens decided some of my plants were there favorite foods and killed three oxalis species I had collected by eating them.
What? You are growing and eating a traditional Peruvian food in California? Isn't that cultural appropiation then? You needlessly totally ruined your otherwise interesting comment. A shame.
I'm sorry, but that was such a waste of my time. You're lovely, but for a video claiming to include re-potting (the part I found you on Google for,) you maybe should have included that. I learned nothing. If you're open to some constructive criticism, try saying "um" a LOT less. Write a script so you know what you're talking about at each part of the video and keep it concise and informative.
This is one of my favorite plants and i finally got one! This is awesome.
ALSO you are so handsome!! I love your plants and I’m now a subscriber!!

For the last few years, Walmart has been selling the bulbs, usually starting in March or April.

Potted green Oxalis is often for sale in early March for St Patrick’s Day, too. 🍀 ❤️😸✌️
Saw both green and violet potted Oxalis on clearance at Walmart yesterday. 😸✌️
Hey Mr . Tnq I got more information from this video 🤘
Do these plants have fragrant flowers or no smell? Google was confusing
Hmmm. If they do i havent noticed. Flowers are relatively small
I was looking forward to see how you bring them out from the first pot that they were in it!!!
that would be the point for me 😐 which I didn't see it on the video!
but thank you for the rest of the information you mentioned 👌🏽
You’re welcome ☺️ ✨❤️🪴
Dang, wish I would’ve known! I have two HUGE mamas. I would’ve broken one up.

@@joankennes3230 Italians eating tomatoes is also cultural appropriation under your definition. Thank Columbus
