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

Recently I posted on how my Frizzle Sizzle had started to flower so I thought Iād give an update! Itās doing amazing and this is only like 9 days of growth since my last post!

Does anyone know why my plant is changing colors? Hey guys! This is my Frizzle Sizzle, Ms. Frizzle! When I first got her she had tight green curls, but recently sheās been changing colors and theyāve been becoming looser. I water her regularly, and stick her in my window for a few hours each day so she can get more sunlight then she normally does. Iām not sure why sheās turning brown, she just looks kinda sad. Any idea what Iām doing wrong?

The spirals have been turning a reddish brown and softening..? Hmmm I heard they were more of fall/winter growers.. the leaves have been getting soft recently am I to think that it's sleeping for the next couple seasons then :o I sure hope so š #happyplants #succulentlove #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

Suggestions/advice on their growth season please. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #FrizzleSizzle #SucculentSquad

Why is my Frizzle Sizzle widening out? Hello! I am new to Greg, and just invested in some plants Id like to keep healthy and happy to decorate my patio with, with my Frizzle Sizzle being on the table. When I first bought it, the leaves were a bit curlier and closer together The plant store guy said it would be okay on my shaded patio (north facing) but Im wondering if it needs more sun? If it does, Ill probably just invest in a small grow light for my desk :) #NewPlantMom #FrizzleSizzle

What other plant parents say
This Curly Whirly Cutie šššis such a fun plant. It likes the sun & will reward you with a long stalk with pretty flowers popping out of the center. Tips of curly leaves will turn brown especially after blooming, but new baby growth will quickly take over & have the brown leaves a distant memory š
