It stands out with its firm, fleshy leaves that curl at the ends into perfect spirals or \"frizzles,\" resembling a delicate spring. In spring, the plant may surprise you with long flower stalks and yellowish-green flowers that emit a gentle vanilla and butter-like aroma. It is an incredibly dynamic, compact, and very specific \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"480\"\u003ehouseplant\u003c\/b\u003e that will add a fun, wild, and extremely original natural accent to any \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"503\"\u003einterior\u003c\/b\u003e.

In too dark a place (or during winter months without additional lighting), the leaves will straighten, become long, limp, and lose their spiral shape.

It is important to know nature’s secrets: the tips of the leaves on this plant tend to naturally turn brown and dry out – this is usually a normal process (especially during flowering) or indicates excessive heat combined with dryness, so don’t be alarmed! \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"355\"\u003eThe biggest natural quirk of Albuca is its winter dormancy:\u003c\/b\u003e unlike many other plants, Albuca is a winter plant that grows in cool and moist months in nature but enters a strict dormancy period in summer. In summer (especially after flowering), it may shed all its leaves completely and leave only a bare bulb in the pot. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"652\"\u003eThe plant is not dead!\u003c\/b\u003e During this time, stop watering completely and place it in a cooler spot until new green shoots appear again in autumn. When repotting, it is strictly forbidden to use dense houseplant soil! Always use an extremely airy cactus and succulent soil mix, richly combined with perlite, sand, and fine gravel. The bulb should always be partially above the soil!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"augi-plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54367745540425,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_df51bc9e-7561-4c28-bfbf-4003835fa463.heic?v=1785058282","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/albuca-friz-sizzle-1","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
