When the plant is in bloom in the fall and winter, feed it with a well-balanced houseplant fertilizer once a month. Spring and summer are a period of rest, so there is no need to fertilize the plant at this time.

Corkscrew Albuca needs one to two hours of direct sunlight daily for rapid growth. It is ideal for placing this plant on the North, East, or West windowsill.

According to qualification, it’s a succulent, so this plant needs well-drained soil. You can use a universal succulent potting mix and add more sand to it to provide additional aeration and lightness.
