Albuca villosa An attractive succulent bulb from South Africa long densely hairy leaves. The outer surface of the leaf has numerous long white hairs that are almost like fur. Flowers are yellow and produced in the spring. Easy to grow. It is a winter grower, which means it will grow from fall to spring and is completely dormant in the summer, meaning it dies back to the bulb. Water regularly (in succulent terms) from fall until spring, then cut back or stop all together in the summer. It usually drops its leaves during the dormant period. Protect from frost.
Please note: These are young (one year old) plants and the bulbs are still quite small. It will take another year or two before they are mature size. I'm selling a limited number of these little guys now for those of you who want an unusual species and don't mind the plants being small in exchange for a more affordable price. If you want a mature one check back here in next year or the year after and I'll happily sell you a bigger one for over 2x this price!
You will receive a plant shown in the last image or one similar. Plant shown in a 2.5" pot. The bulb is approximately 1/4" diameter. Note that the first two images show a mature plant.
Important Shipping Information
- PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
- Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
- No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
- Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.
Thank you!
