A frizzle sizzle (Albuca Spiralis) of my very own! According to the internet, the leaves turning brown is very normal for when it's budding/flowering.

Albuca spiralis

The genus Albuca is closely related to Ornithogalum, but many of the Albuca species have an unusual floral trait - the 3 outer tepals spread widely, while the 3 inner ones are cupped around the stamens and pistil. This is very much the case with Albuca spiralis, with its downward-facing greenish-yellow fragrant flowers, The strikingly spiraled leaves give the species its name. From the winter-rainfall region in western South Africa.

As the weather cools down, my albuca spiralis is starting to come out of dormancy. These weird plants live in arid environments of South Africa where they grow leaves when it's cooler and more wet in the winter, then die back during the dry summer. This one looked dead for months.

The spiral leaves help to collect and channel dew to their roots. They may also help the leaves avoid damage during high winds.

This article describes how many of the plants in the habitat of albuca have spiral leaves optimize water use:

Albuca Spiralis!

The first bulb is growing beautifully and the second one started sprouting! 💚

Before going to Guatemala, I placed them in a Tupperware filled halfway with water. It was a success because it kept them moist and allowed for growth while I was gone!

I got them back in March 2021 from @thesuccshack. They were flowering and then they went dormant in summer and finally resprouted! 💚

Happy holidays! 🎄🔥
