Orange/pink leaves
I don’t know what’s wrong with Diana. I’ve removed a lot of bad leaves in hopes that it would have her focus on keeping her leaves healthier. I’ve let her soil dry out several times, and I’ve watered her every time it was mostly dry. I’ve changed her location too. I’m lost on what to do now. I’ve never had this type of plant and it’s the only one out of all my plants that are struggling. What can I do?? #NewPlantMom #PlantMoms #PlantCorner

The Pregnant Onion (Albuca bracteata, formerly Ornithogalum longibracteatum) is a succulent bulbous perennial in the Asparagaceae family. It is a popular, low-maintenance houseplant or succulent that "gives birth" to small baby bulbs from its mother bulb. Key care includes bright light, well-draining soil, and letting the soil dry out between waterings. Note: This plant is poisonous and not edible. Instructions:
Light: Prefers bright, direct light (especially in the morning) or bright indirect light. A south-facing window is ideal.
Watering: Water thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried out. The plant is quite drought-tolerant; overwatering causes rot.
Soil: Requires very well-draining soil, such as succulent or cactus mix.
Temperature & Repotting: Thrives indoors in warm temperatures. In winter, keep it indoors as it is not frost-tolerant. Repot yearly if needed, keeping the bulb partially above the soil line.
Propagation: The plant produces small, green, or white bulblets under its outer skin. These can be removed and planted separately. The plant may go dormant in summer, during which leaves may die off and should be kept dry. The leaves are long, arching, and green, with a large, bulbous base that sits largely above the soil.
