Frizzle Sizzle is a funky bulb succulent that is always turning heads. In this video I discuss proper light, watering, fertilizing, and repotting of these curly wonders.
I just got one of these and it is starting to pop up with leaves but it isn't even fall! Is this normal? I was expecting late fall winter. So, I came on to see a care video and came across this one.
I would agree excessive water (root rot) is the killer of most succulents. I only water when the soil is 100% dry and then I still wait another 4-5 days just to be sure before watering. I also purchased grow lights and lastly I fertilize with plant food. In your case repot in fresh soil do not water for at least a week (easy to say hard to do). When you do water start with a plant fertilizer and after that when to water make sure it’s 100% dry and still wait an extra few days.
Can we grow this plant in the tropics? We don't have winter and autumn, just wet and dry season, though it can rain anytime throughout the year. When is the plant supposed to go dormant then? Also, can it survive under bright indirect light? Thank you in advance.
Hi Tanner my plant finished blooming I cut it all the way back it’s about 1inch above the top of the bulb. I repotted it to separate it from my other succulents so it wouldn’t get water, and so it goes dormant for the rest of its growing cycle. My questions are: Do I water it to start it’s growing cycle again later in the year or will it just growing on it’s own before I water it? If I do water it when would the best time to start the growing cycle again? Do to know how long it takes a bulb to split? I was hoping to get another plant out of this one. Thank you, Terri
Shout out from Fort Worth! I’m glad to find plant lover content that is in my part of the world. I’m waiting for a FS to arrive in the mail.
Very good information. Thanks. Short and to the point.

my plant looks very sad for weeks now :( it lays down completely, and I can’t figure out what to do with it or what’s wrong
Most likely cause is too little light and too frequent of watering

I’ve never cut them back. I just let them go through their natural growth cycle. Dormancy will be determined by photoperiod and temperature.
My flower was pink
should I trim down the foilage during the dormacy?
Mine just finished blooming and most of the curly leaves turned brown.
Susan Hirschy I don’t, but some folks do- totally up you you!
Ant tips on pruning?
Snip off the dead parts with a clean pair of pruners :)
If mine does not flower by late summer should I just keep watering it? I’m going it indoors in Minnesota
Yes
@@tannertheplanter4213 When and if it goes dormant should I not water it and give it sunlight or not water it and wrap it up?
@@Boops_a_leaf same care during dormancy!
