    I'd plant it. I think they are perennials and will come back next year or it might even put out some more leaves when you plant it also.

    There are several different species of Oxalis but I believe they will all grow outdoors in part shade just fine. If your nighttime temperatures are above 40 it should be fine outside. Put it in a larger pot to let it grow during the spring and summer.

    Mine was an office plant for years until it developed fungus gnats or some kind of little pest that infected everything :-x
