Albuca osmynella 'Slime Lillies'
DESCRIPTION
Embrace the enchanting allure of the Albuca osmynella 'Slime Lilies'. Contrary to what its peculiar nickname might suggest, the 'Slime Lily' radiates elegance and distinction. This rare bulbous plant boasts a remarkable spiral leaf structure, which becomes more pronounced as it grows, echoing the whimsical spirals often seen in fairy tales. Come the flowering season, the 'Slime Lily' sprouts delicate, bell-shaped yellow flowers, emitting a gentle fragrance that adds a layer of sensory pleasure. With its compact growth, it's an excellent fit for small spaces, container gardens, or even as a unique addition to a succulent collection.
Native to arid regions, this plant is impressively drought-tolerant, making it ideal for those who seek beauty in low-maintenance gardening. Moreover, its distinct appearance combined with its intriguing name ensures it's always a conversation starter among guests and plant enthusiasts. If you're thinking of its care, it prefers bright, indirect light with occasional direct sunlight but is wary of the intense midday sun. A well-draining soil, similar to a cactus or succulent mix, is ideal, and it's crucial to water sparingly, letting the soil dry out between intervals to prevent bulb rot. The 'Slime Lily' thrives in moderate temperatures and should be shielded from extreme cold and frost. In the world of botanical wonders, the Albuca osmynella 'Slime Lilies' stands as a testament to nature's boundless creativity. Whether you're an experienced plant lover or just starting, this plant promises uniqueness and charm in your collection.

PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE
Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
