Albuca Spiralis 130mm

Albuca spiralis is a distinctive bulbous plant known for its naturally curling, spiral leaves. It works well in bright indoor spaces or sunny patios where its shape can stand out.

Description

This plant produces narrow green leaves that curl into tight spirals, especially under strong light. It grows from a bulb and has a seasonal growth pattern, with active growth in cooler months and dormancy during warmer periods.

It is often chosen for its unusual appearance and collector appeal. While relatively low maintenance, its seasonal behaviour can catch new growers off guard.
