{"product_id":"frizzle-sizzle","title":"Frizzle Sizzle","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"364\"\u003eAlbuca spiralis, commonly called frizzle sizzle, is a bulb-forming plant native to South Africa known for its curly, corkscrew-shaped leaves that spiral outward from the center. What makes this plant special is those tight curls—the stronger the light, the tighter and more dramatic the spirals become, giving it a playful, sculptural look unlike most bulb plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"722\"\u003eLight directly controls the curl pattern and overall structure. Place it in a south or west-facing window where it receives strong, direct light. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 6–10 inches from the top of the plant. In lower light, the leaves straighten and lose their spiral shape. Strong light keeps the curls tight, compact, and more defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"1185\"\u003eWatering should follow its active growth cycle. Allow the soil to dry out most of the way between waterings, then water thoroughly and let it drain, using a fast-draining mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This plant grows actively in cooler seasons and may go dormant in heat, where the foliage naturally dies back. If the bulb becomes soft, it’s staying too wet. Straight leaves usually point to insufficient light rather than watering problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1627\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThis plant communicates very clearly through its curls and seasonal behavior. Tight spirals mean the plant is getting enough light and staying compact. Leaves stretching outward or uncurling signal that it needs stronger light. Yellowing and collapsing foliage during hotter months can simply mean it’s entering dormancy, which is normal for this species. A firm bulb is healthy, while a soft or mushy bulb always points to excess moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rooted Plant Shop ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41999713468514,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/1269\/8722\/files\/75385B6E-C9C2-4BB6-8526-272F993F1C89.jpg?v=1779292060","url":"https:\/\/therootedplantshop.com\/products\/frizzle-sizzle","provider":"The Rooted Plant Shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
