Help me save my oxalis

9 years ago

I have three pots of oxalis which I have treated the same way for many years: grow outdoors in the summer; withhold water and bring indoors for the winter; store in my basement in the winter (covered with plastic bags); bring them back out in the summer, water, put in a sunny spot and voila, beautiful blooms. Unfortunately, this summer we have been beset with a number of family crises and I did not really think about them until about two days ago. I just opened them up and of course they are not in good shape. There are a few wispy shoots in the triangularis pot, the ironcross are bone dry, the regnelli pot is showng signs of fungus and the bulbs (or corms) have heaved themselves out of the soil. Bottom line, what should I do? We do have about 30 days of good weather: should I bring them out, water, and put in full sun, and then bring them back in again or is that too much for them? Maybe just water and see what happens? These plants may not be prized plants, but I would like to preserve them for sentimental reasons. Your help is much appreciated.
