Albuca spiralis – Frizzle Sizzle 🌿🌀☀️

The Albuca spiralis, affectionately known as Frizzle Sizzle, is a fascinating and whimsical bulbous plant with tightly curled, spiral-shaped leaves that resemble green springs. Native to South Africa, it produces delightful yellow, vanilla-scented flowers on tall stems, making it both quirky and elegant — a perfect choice for plant lovers who enjoy something a little unusual.

Key Features:

✔ Unique spiral foliage that curls more tightly in bright light

✔ Produces sweetly scented yellow flowers in spring

✔ Compact and eye-catching – ideal for windowsills or desks

✔ Drought-tolerant and easy to care for

✔ A fun and conversation-starting addition to any plant collection

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, direct to bright indirect light – more light encourages tighter curls

Watering: Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. During dormancy (summer), reduce watering significantly.

Humidity: Prefers low to moderate humidity – avoid excessive moisture on the leaves

Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix

Feeding: Fertilise lightly every 4–6 weeks during active growth (autumn to spring)

Temperature: Ideal between 18–26°C; keep above 10°C and protect from frost

Growth: Typically reaches 15–25 cm tall, with flowers appearing in late winter to spring

🌿 Tip: After flowering, allow the plant to rest — reduce watering and let the leaves naturally die back before new growth appears in the next season.
