I have one of these, and I seem to have two parts to it: I have the curly part that is doing quite well--nice and curly and green. Then behind that, I have a shoot that has nothing on it. it's just a pole with the beginnings of spirals at the top, but it has turned about 60% brownish in the last few months. It's in high light (we live in Texas, so light is not a problem. Should I trim back the brown part? Should I water it more? Feed it? It's not root bound. I water about once every week and a half or when the soil feels dry about an inch down. Will you get back to me? Thanks!

I bought one of these this spring, it flowered beautifully, now ( Oct ) some of the lower, curly leaves are going brown but theres a ton of new shoots the went straight up and are now starting to curl.
How do I give it the cool period to flower again the spring? OR do I just let it do its thing in the window. Im in zone 3 so outdoors isnt an option.
Thanks, really enjoy your vids!

I just bought one and the soil was quite wet so I knew I didnt have to water it right away. But within a couple of days I did get those red/brown tips so I repotted it and was so surprised to find that it grows from a bulb! lol but mine is about to flower too so now I know the reason for those brown tips.

My frizzle sizzle has some leaf/stem movement. I put it outside in the sun for the daytime and lately some leaves are flopping over a bit but they slowly go back up when I bring them inside. I have read of these plants being moody when moved or replanted. Any advice on this movement? Thanks!

Mrs. Frizzle is the first thing I thought of when I saw this plant! I bought mine this summer and I live in Washington. The light is great in the summer, but as we enter the darker times, I am worried about my plant. Anything I can do besides buying a grow light? Love this video, by the way!

Do you water in the summer? I read that you only water in winter and cut the flower off in summer as all the curls are browning.
Picked up at a local nursery and care directions are not helpful. Have had it inside but moved to outdoors after reading several articles.

I love this plant, but I need help, I just got to know this plant, so I don't know much about it, my question is when it goes dormant, how do you care for it? do you bury the bulb in soil and keep it in a dark place without water until winter? please help, thank you

Mine started turning brown 3 days after I brought it home from the nursery. The stems are also starting to head down award instead of straight up. It doesnt have a yellow flowering thing in the middle. It been damp since I bought it, and not sure if this is normal?

I have one thats been doing great, until now. It still looks good but it has tiny brown bugs. Any idea on what it is and how to get rid of them? Tried neem oil and tried dishsoap w water and alcohol. They havent gone away. Been trying to wash them off everyday.

Epic Gardening Great video, thanks: ) I have a question though. How often do you water it in the dormancy period during summer, if you water it at all? I just got mine, and I'm growing it in a USDA zone 7b-8a (Denmark, so naturally I grow it indoors.

I have one! Thanks for these tips because I underwater it and as a result the leaves did die back this fall. However, new leaves are coming in so I'll be sure to give it more water. It flowered last summer and they absolutely do smell like vanilla: -)

Reminds me of my Bowea with the big base. Only on the Bowiea the bulb sits on top of the pot soil. It also has a pretty wild growth habit. And it is also from South Africa. I have wanted a Frizzle sizzle fr awhile now. They are so very cool.

I needed this video earlier because the one I had died maybe because I didn't give it enough light. Grrr. I haven't decided if I want to purchase another one to try it again. Thank you for this video. Keep those videos coming please.

My plant has very tall leaves not squatty like yours. I have to stake the leaves up or they just fall down. 2nd year blooming though. The leaves are about 1 1/2 foot tall. Do I continue to stake it or just let the leaves fall down?
