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 itās 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 yearāwhichever comes first.

Why my sizzle fizzle plants donāt curl? š
-
Floppy leaves My frizzle sizzle has long leaves but they won't stand up on their own they just flop over. I'm trying to figure out why. The shorter ones stand on their own but not the longer ones.

My plant has been struggling for a while. It's very droopy. I just watered it. (Amount and frequency recommended by Greg.) And the bases of the shoots are not looking good. I want to repot it, maybe that will help? Any suggestions are very appreciated. #FrizzleSizzle

Is this normal for the leaves? Iāve had this plant for a few months, new to the frizzle life. It started to flower a few weeks after I got it and I cut the flower per the plant store ownerās recommendation. And I know summer is its dormant season. So Iām just wondering if the color and elongating of the leaves are normal for this period in its life cycle. The tips arenāt crispy and I havenāt changed its placement or lighting. I want to make sure I get tight curls back when it wakes up! #FrizzleSizzle

frizzle sizzle I just got a new frizzle sizzle plant about a week ago. It came healthy and beautiful but wasnāt very curled (needs more light) I watered from the bottom allowing for slow absorption and did not allow it to get too saturated. Two days later the tips on all the leaves are brown and leaves have gone soft. What could this be from? I water with rain water and it did not and is not flowering.

I had *no idea* Frizzle Sizzleās bloomed!

Suuuper sad My #FrizzleSizzle is so sad! Iāve only had it for about a month but when I got it it was still pretty curly. Within a few weeks the curls died off. It grew a flower shortly after and Iām not sure what that means. Please send help!

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

I managed to not kill my frizzle! Any suggestion on non dormant watering? I got this guy during the summer so I basically never watered him except for a little every month or 2 but today I noticed heās sprouting so heās no longer dormant!! Suggestions/advice on their growth season please. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #FrizzleSizzle #SucculentSquad

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
