Diagnosis & Prescription
Patient Name
Corkscrew Albuca
Symptoms
Lost its fronds and has grown back to only thin ones that droop.
Diagnosis
For Albuca, there are usually two reasons why the foliage stretch and it’s usually overwatering or not enough sunlight.
Treatment
The plant should be moved to a sunnier spot, watering reduced and the bulb of the plant should be exposed 1 cm above the soil.
Prevention
Albuca also sometimes goes into dormancy during summer (but not always) so if the plant gets better (and maybe even bloom) and then starts dying off during summer slowly reduce watering and don’t provide any water, let it rest for at least 6 weeks and then the plant should slowly wake up and then you can start watering again.
