Hi Andrea,
Thanks for your kind comments, though sorry I’m unable to answer your query as I don’t monitor their blooming details.

Hi Mrs. Jacq,

First of all I would like to thank you for creating this site.

I’m a high school student and I’m doing my research project as one of my requirements in school. I’ve taken details of gumamela from your site for the review of related literature chapter of my paper and I have to include the authors of this site. May I know your last name please?

Thanks,
Olis

Hello!

Your site is very useful. Thank you so much for creating it.

Just wanted to ask if you know how long it takes for a closed single flower to open in the case of Ixora coccinea. Do you have an idea?

Thanks for your compliment, radha!
Sorry, we don’t entertain such plant ID request as we’re not experts in this matter. I’d suggest that you check with our A-Z: Plants Photo Gallery to see whether there are similarities that can help you to identify yours. We’re not botanists and all our plants/flowers were identified by comparing photos and gathering info through google-search. The site TopTropicals.com with an extensive plant picture gallery has been our favourite resource center…you may want to explore there.
Another alternative is to post your pictures in your blog and invite readers/visitors to help out or upload your photos at Flickr.com with a free account and join related groups that can help in plant ID. There are many such groups in the Flickr community.
All the best to you, radha.

Lovely site you have here. Would you help me identify some of the pictures of plants and flowers that I have taken? Where can I mail them?

Hi Rupert, Probably your plants are getting too much direct sunlight and being overwated too. Oxalis prefers filtered sunlight and dislike wet feet that can lead to root rot. To propagate by division, gently separate the clumps and plant them in good-draining potting soil. You may want to refer further to our article on oxalis here and their probable problems here. All the best and hope your plants regain their robust growth.

Hello Jacqueline,

I just discovered your website after googling ‘red oxalis’. I have a beautiful and much coveted red oxalis plant, but just recently the leaves have started to discolour and/or decay. Sometimes it looks like something is eating them, but I’m not sure. At the moment, they are sitting by the window in direct sunlight and I have been watering them everyday. I’m wondering if this is what’s causing them too look a little sorry for themselves.

I was also wondering if you could give me a tip about how to maybe separate one of the bulbs as I have a few in one large pot and they’re very crowded. This looks amazing, but perhaps I can get a new plant out of it.

Yours sincerely
Rupert
