Materials

• An oxalis plant (comes in many varieties including Irish Mist and Iron Cross; commonly available at nurseries and florists during the month of March)
• Potting soil
• Decorative pot
• Water as needed

Directions

Pick up an oxalis plant at your local nursery or florist and plant it in a decorative pot to bring good luck to your family this March. Although this houseplant is commonly associated with St. Patrick's Day because of the four-lobed, heart-shaped leaves, oxalis is actually native to South America. The oxalis is easy to grow-it prefers abundant sunshine and moist but not wet soil.
