Here is a look at our premade succulent and cacti arrangements. We also make succulent wreath forms, even in a shape of a Teddy Bear!

General Care: If kept outdoors, water once a week. If weather turns warmer, especially during the summer, water twice a week. Reduce watering in the winter. Bright, filtered light is best for most succulent and cacti arrangements. If kept indoors, a west or south facing window help provide the most sunlight for succulents. Rotate outdoors to a filtered, covered area at least once a week to help plants live longer. Water about every 14 days.

Here is the popular succulent, "Albuca spiralis" also known as "Fizzle Sizzle". We used three handmade containers to give you a different and unique look.
This video is a quick and casual presentation of this plant. If you are interested in this plant, check out other entertaining videos on our channel.

Care:

Origin: Cape Town area in South Africa

Flower: Bell shaped, green-yellow flowers with a slight vanilla fragrance
Description: A winter grower that produces beautiful spiral, curly leaves when given more sunlight.

A bulbous plant that is ideal for patios and balconies. When the plant blooms on tall flower stalks, you can remove them as soon as they start to bloom to prevent the tips of the leaves from browning, which is natural process of the plant.

The “Fizzle Sizzle” sometimes has a mind of its own when some will grow with taller, looser curls while others will maintain short, tight curls!

Sun: Partial sun

Water: Once to twice a week outdoors depending on the climate. Twice a month indoors.

Frost: Not frost tolerant
