[IBC] outdoor plants indoors
FWIW, I have had clover growing in the pot with one of my tropicals that
I brought indoors last fall. Just plain old clover. It was growing in the pot when I brought it in, and never went dormant. It has actually thrived there. It figures that it would thrive by accident. If I tried to intentionally grow it in an accent pot it would probably die. Gives me some thoughts about trying to cultivate it next winter just to see what happens. I've had the tree with the clover under regular fluorescent lights, watering when needed, and monthly fertilizer.

I have had clover growing in the pot with one of my tropicals that I
brought indoors last fall. I doubt whether it is clover. It is probably Oxalis, a common weed. Some growers leave small stands of Oxalis as an accent or companion plant, but it has a tendency to take over.

[IBC] outdoor plants indoors
Craig,
Very interesting to hear about the clover doing well indoors. It reminds me that we know so very little about plants that will survive indoors. Probably though to be fair we should ask that a "true indoor plant" should probably grow a minimum of two years indoors. Less than that and the plant could be in survival mode. Just some idle ramblings on my part.

No big deal either way. This wasn't a controlled experiment. I might post a pic on the gallery if I get motivated.

Craig: I suspect Iris is correct that this is Oxalis. If so, it is very invasive,
and you would do your bonsai a favor to keep it away. It is the worst problem to get rid of this stuff to prepare for an exhibit.
