Excellent video. Thank you so much.
This is fantastic! I can wait til the flowers dry up... I was cutting hem too soon so 2 down, but now ik how to get the rest!
Yes, wait till the seed capsules split and the seeds will come out very easily.
I sowed my albuca seeds early this month, I was worried why they still do not germinate after almost a month. It seems they are really slow growers. Thanks for the video!
I think they need the cold weather to germinate so you if they're being slow, you probably just sowed them early.
Do you have an update on them? I would love to see how they did after dormancy.
We had a wet summer this season and I had a lot of issue with root mealybug, I even lost the parent plant along with the seedlings so I can’t really provide an update. I am growing some more this season from leftover seeds and they might be in an winter growing bulb video in the future.
Your video has massively helped me. Only difference is mine didn’t grow in soil - I had some floating in a pot of water and there the only ones that have grown but it defo helps - how long is dormancy ? Thanks x
Usually dormancy begins in early spring and ends early autumn. Make sure you give you protect your seedlings over the summer to prevent them from being eaten, unfortunately all of the seedlings in this video were attacked by mealybugs during dormancy and non made it next season. (Not even the parent plant survived).
Love your videos.
I was wondering if the Frizzell plant should have the top of the bulb exposed.
Ideally, you want the soil level to be at the same level as the neck of the bulb. If you raise your bulb, it will not thicken as quickly, so I suggest to not the expose the top of the bulb.
Very nice thankyou, currently I'm growing some albuca villosa which is a furry version of albuca haha
Sounds interesting, haven't heard or seen that species before.
@@TobyJin Yep it's very rare, I think only about 3 different sources of pictures of it exist on the internet. It has furry leaves so it absorbs more water and it looks rather similair to Albuca bracteata (pregnant onion) but has the same flower structure as Albuca spiralis so it must be more closely related to it
This was wonderful and so useful! Did you have to wait so long after harvesting the seeds to germinate, etc? I have one that is just flowering now and I'm hoping to collect seeds from it!
I sowed them in fall, when the growing season for them begins.
Thank you for this extensive video. I've just bought 5 seeds and this video will help me a lot. What do you do with them during dormancy? Temperature, water and sunlight?
When they are dormant, I keep them completely dry, out of full sun, and put them on a shelf in the shade
@@TobyJin thank you so much for your answer
thanks for the video , why did you pour hot water on the soil?
To sterilise the soil before sowing the seeds.
did your albuca need to be pollinated? mine has bloomed many times but no seed pods.
I just manually pollinated the flowers on mine and it set seed really well.
