I have two pots of Albuca fizzle sizzle that I got a couple of years ago from Logee´s Greenhouse in Connecticut. They have a mail-order business. It is unclear that this plant is really Albuca spiralis. It certainly had the little spiral springs when I got it. One was a split bulb, and the other was a single bulb. The leaves , not unwinding the spirals, were about 8 inches tall. That year, we got 3 flower spikes, greenish-yellow flowers, fragrant They live on a west -facing windowsill, but it is in a corner right next to a south-facing window and under a big skylight, so light isn´t a problem. I was busy (and stupid) and didn´t put them outdoors to be fertilized, so no seeds. The next year, one smaller spike. Their windowsill is behind a huge clump of papyrus growing in a fish tank, so, out of sight, out of mind. They might have gotten a cup of fishtank water every couple of months, and no fertilizer. Now they are in active growth, 19 inches tall with several turns at the end of the stalks but no impressive spirals. They look pretty happy, actually, and have gotten a cup of fishtank water about once a week for the last four weeks. Obviously, I have no idea how to grow this plant, and my experience with it should not be considered as advice. Perhaps I have just found a way for it to die slowly. I have underwatered rather than overwatered. The fishtank is made of tile and is let into the floor. It holds about 225 gallons of water, lots of fish, and several kinds of papyrus, some poufs of which kiss the skylight. This water makes orchids rebloom.
