Light : Albuca bracteata appreciates bright light, but avoid direct sunlight which can burn its leaves. A location near an east or southeast facing window is ideal.
Temperature : It tolerates a wide range of temperatures, but prefers moderate temperatures between -7°C and 25°C .
Spring and summer : Water regularly, but allow the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings.
Fall and winter : Reduce watering considerably, or even stop watering completely if the plant loses its leaves.
Draining substrate : Use a substrate specially designed for cacti and succulents , or mix universal potting soil with coarse sand to improve drainage.
Low Feeding : Feed a low-dose succulent fertilizer once a month during the active growing season (spring and summer).
Every 2-3 years: Repot your Albuca bracteata every 2-3 years in a slightly larger pot, in spring.
By bulbils: Separate the bulbils from the mother plant and transplant them into small individual pots.
Overwatering: Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Lack of light: A lean plant without bulbils indicates a lack of light.
Poorly drained substrate: A substrate that is too compact retains water and encourages disease.
