I heard that the purple-leaved oxalis would die in the winter, and
would revive next spring from its tuber. However, I have an access to a
green house in my institute. So ,I hope I can move my lovely oxalis
into green house as the winter comes. But when ? Or rather , under how
many degree Celsius, should I remove it?
Thanks a lot!

You'll first need to find a chart which indicates the freezing temperature
of water in your location. Add 5 degrees because I don't think that plant
wants to cut it too close. Compare this number to temperature predictions on
the weather reports, and get the plant into the greenhouse.

Thanks a lot!
In my location, the weather in winter can hardly drop to 5 degree and I
can hardly see snow for years here. However, I think 5 is too low, 10
degree is the critical point for oxalis!
I am now searching for info about the optimal temperature for my lovely
oxalis, hoping the lovely pretty plant could grow faster!

A Google search turned up so many decent looking results, and you still
haven't found anything? How about the library?
