Finding light for Albuca in your home

a window
Albuca may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Albuca in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Albuca

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Albuca after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Recently I posted on how my Frizzle Sizzle had started to flower so I thought I’d give an update! It’s doing amazing and this is only like 9 days of growth since my last post! Not only that but it gives off this beautiful sweet vanilla scent that you can smell a few feet away! #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #NewPlantMom #FrizzleSizzle #FloweringPlants #SucculentSquad

Soooooo… when can I expect my little bulb to sprout? I bought this little Albuca Concordiana bulb a few weeks ago and I have 0 experience with this particular plant. The bulb looks pretty healthy I guess? It’s green and plump looking. It’s got its own dedicated grow light for 14 hours a day, mix of half succulent soil and half perlite, not near an ac… when can expect sprouts? I can’t wait to see her little curly leaves! #SucculentSquad #help

Pregnant onion gone wrinkly! My pregnant onion has been thriving recently, event throwing out its first flower! But i’ve just noticed the main bulb of it has become soft and wrinkly. Anyone know why it does this, and if i should be worried?

Just got my Frizzle Sizzle a few weeks ago. It looks like she has a bloom at the bottom forming, but her spirals are browning (with some really tight spirals that formed since I got her). After repotting, is she sick?? #FrizzleSizzle #newplantmom #justgettingstarted

Help! I got this lady 6 days ago, potted and watered her. She’s turning brown. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I’ve never had one before. Thanks! #FrizzleSizzle
