SAlbuca "Augrabies Hills" is a dwarf, bulbous succulent native to the rocky terrain near the Augrabies Falls in South Africa. In the trade,

Core Characteristics
  • The Bulb: It grows from a small, onion-like bulb that sits partially above the soil. Over time, it offsets to form dense, attractive clusters.
  • Foliage: Unlike the spiral-leaved Albuca spiralis, this species has narrow, upright, grass-like green leaves. Under high light, the tips may develop a slight curl or "frizzle."
  • Flowers: It is highly fragrant, producing nodding, bell-shaped flowers that smell like vanilla or almond. The blooms are white or pale green with a distinct green stripe down each petal.
  • Size: A true dwarf, it rarely exceeds 6–8 inches in height, making it perfect for windowsills or small containers.
Care Guide
  • Growth Cycle: It is a winter grower. It pushes new growth and blooms in the cooler months and may go partially or fully dormant (dropping leaves) during the heat of summer.
  • Light: Prefers bright indirect light to full sun. Insufficient light causes the leaves to become "leggy" and flop over.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the winter growing season when the soil feels dry. Crucial: Reduce watering significantly in summer when the plant is dormant to prevent the bulb from rotting.
  • Soil: Use a very gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix.
