These bulbous plants include the genera Bowiea, Albuca, Urginea, Drimia, Drimiopsis, Massonia and Schizobasis. These genera include both cool and warm weather growers, so care instructions really vary from species to species. Taken as a whole however, most will grow without problems if kept between 60F - 90F, with moderate water year round. If plants go completely dormant and lose their leaves, watering should be reduced. Lighting also varies species to species, but part sun or broken shade should be acceptable to most. The larger species generally appreciate a bit more sun. The species with very fleshy bulbs (like Bowieas and Schizobasis) will look best if kept from harsh sun. All appreciate an occasional dose of fertilizer. Soils should be a bit sandy and well drained.
