How to Grow Albuca spiralis

Sow seeds at any time, covering them with about 5mm of compost or grit. Place the tray in a cool, bright position outdoors — avoid using artificial heat, as this can actually stop germination. Many species need a period of cold before they’ll sprout, so don’t worry if nothing happens until spring; a natural chilling or even light freezing over winter often triggers growth. Once seedlings appear, grow them on in small pots until they’re large enough to transplant into the garden or individual containers. Choose a well-drained position that stays frost-free in winter, or use a sharply draining compost mix for pot culture.
