Highlights
Sempervivum 'Aglow' (Skrocki): A smashing red rosette with velvety leaves. It can take on a tawny green sheen in fall but holds bright red tones through most seasons. It is a prolific cultivar, producing many new offsets each spring.
Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
This listing is for a whole potted plant with roots, bulb, and leaves. It will may or may not be blooming when you receive it. They are fully rooted in a 2" square, plastic grow pot and the leaves tend to be about 2"-5" tall at this size.
• Staff Answer
The leaves can straighten during flowering. You'll need to allow your plant to go dormant over the summer by withholding water until fall. The old, straight leaves will dry and fall off, but the new leaves that sprout in autumn will be curly again! You can find our video on this plant, with more details, at the link below.

• Staff Answer
Yes. Allow the old leaves to dry up along with the bloom stalk. When you water again, it'll sprout new, curly leaves. Just be sure it's getting enough light to do so.
• Staff Answer
Frizzle Sizzle leaves can straighten if the plant gets too much water or too little sunlight. Even a healthy plant will sometimes straighten out after flowering. Fortunately, they have a dormancy period each summer when they should be kept dry so that they can lose their leaves. Curly leaves will re-sprout in the fall when you resume watering.
• Staff Answer
You can! After a Frizzle Sizzle blooms, both the bloom stalk and leaves will die and dry, at which point they can be cut off without harming the plant. You'll want to keep the bulb mostly dry through its summer dormancy. Then resume watering in the fall when new leaves start to sprout.
• Staff Answer
Yes, Albuca 'Frizzle Sizzle' flowers can produce seeds if they're pollinated. Leave the plant outside for a few hours a day so that pollinators can access it. Just be careful not to shock the plant with any extreme sun, heat, or frost. Put it in a protected spot that gets shade to partial sun. The seeds that develop will be small and just need to be sprinkled on top of soil and misted gently to germinate.
• Staff Answer
Yes! This is the normal, healthy dormancy process for Frizzle Sizzle each summer. You can keep it in the same spot, but withhold water through summer. The leaves will dry and fall off, then re-sprout in the fall as you resume watering. The great thing about losing leaves each summer is that the new fall leaves will have fresh, tight curls. Give your Frizzle Sizzle plenty of sunshine and infrequent water to keep its leaves curly.
• Staff Answer
Yes, you can transplant it into a pot with a drainage hole and use a well-draining succulent soil. Keep it near a sunny window (or outdoors in partial sun if there's no risk of frost). Leave it dry for several days after transplanting, then water deeply enough for water to run out the pot's drainage hole. Once your Frizzle Sizzle has finished blooming, you can withhold all water and leave it to dry for summer dormancy. New, curly leaves will sprout in the fall as you resume watering.
• Staff Answer
We do not list Albuca 'Frizzle Sizzle' as pet-friendly, because it can cause mild digestive issues if consumed. You can shop all our Pet Safe Succulents here. Also, on any category page, you can check the "Pet Safe" filter on the left under "Special Characteristic" to browse only pet friendly varieties.
