Albuca bracteata : : Care and cultivation tips

Exposure and temperature

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 .

Watering

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.

Substrate

Draining substrate : Use a substrate specially designed for cacti and succulents , or mix universal potting soil with coarse sand to improve drainage.

Fertilizer

Low Feeding : Feed a low-dose succulent fertilizer once a month during the active growing season (spring and summer).

Repotting

Every 2-3 years: Repot your Albuca bracteata every 2-3 years in a slightly larger pot, in spring.

Multiplication

By bulbils: Separate the bulbils from the mother plant and transplant them into small individual pots.

Mistakes to avoid

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.
