Essential Care Tips for Albuca Spiralis Plant

• Soil
  Use well-draining, sandy, or cactus mix soil. This ensures the bulb stays dry at the base and prevents root rot. The ideal soil pH should be neutral to slightly acidic (6.0-7.0).
• Water
  Water moderately during the growing season and reduce watering in dormancy. Let the soil dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering.
• Light Requirements
  Place the Albuca Spiralis plant in full sun or bright, indirect light. Adequate sunlight promotes leaf curl and flower development.
• Temperature and Humidity
  Thrives best in temperatures between 15°C to 25°C. Protect it from frost and ensure moderate humidity levels.
• Fertilizing Schedule
  Feed your Albuca Spiralis plant monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer such as NPK(19:19:19) powder fertilizer or NPK (19:19:19) granules fertilizer, or Seaweed Organic Plant Food during active growth. Avoid fertilizing during the dormancy phase.
• Air Circulation
  Good air movement helps prevent fungal diseases. Avoid placing the plant in enclosed or overly humid spaces.
• Blooming
  The Albuca Spiralis blooms in late winter or early spring. To encourage flowering, ensure it gets plenty of sunlight and reduce watering slightly as the plant transitions into bloom.
• Pruning
  Remove dry or withered leaves at the base to encourage fresh growth. Use clean scissors to avoid damaging the bulb.
• Repotting
  Repot every 2–3 years or when the bulb outgrows its pot. Choose a container with drainage holes and replenish the soil during repotting.
• Dormancy Care
  After flowering, the plant may enter dormancy. Reduce watering, move it to a cooler spot, and resume regular care once new growth appears.
• Pest Control
  Watch for mealybugs and spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap at the first sign of pests.
