I am experimenting with some South African bulbs in containers. I don't have a greenhouse, so I'm making do with a shelf in my garage fitted with a grow light. I planted them over a month ago but didn't start watering them until Oct 1. Out of about 15 pots, I have two just starting to show growth, both are oxalis. I'm quite excited. The first is O. gracilis.

The 2nd is O. massoniana.

The growth looks odd to me, nothing resembling any oxalis I have seen before, but of course I've never worked with these plants before.
I have no guidance other than a couple youtube videos and 25-yr old book with brief descriptions of various species.
I could definitely use more information as info so far has been minimal, so if anyone out there has experience growing these types of plants, I'd be interested in picking your brain.
