    Hi, I've just purchase an Oxalis deppei/tetraphylla and was wondering if they make successful houseplants? If so, how does one care for this particular species? Anyone knowing anything about Oxalis deppei, well I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Great, thanks. I looked hither and yon, and most sources said they need to be kept too cool for the home. They are such a nice little plant that I thought it's charm would be lost in the flowerbed, so I've got it in a nice sunny windowsill :)
