Q.Planting Oxalis Palmifrons Seeds

Zone Portland, Oregon | MissFlora added on August 22, 2020 | Answered

I just purchased two dried seeds. They came with no guidance. Since it’s summer, I understand I shouldn’t water the plants, but does that mean I just stick the pod in healthy dry potting soil? Can you advise me on light requirements while it’s growing?

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. Since their seeds are extraordinarily tiny, I assume you mean tubers. This is the most reliable way to reproduce them, instead of by seed.

These will need to be planted in Autumn, as the temperatures start to cool. They do not fare well in the heat. Once they sprout up for the Winter, they will be relatively low maintenance.
