Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 12) Brunsvigia Grandiflora

My Day 12 plant is a survivor. I ordered it from eBay from my favorite seller Strange Wonderful Things. It is a bulb of Brusvigia grandiflora that I’ve had for about eight years. I think this bulb wants a lot more sunshine than I’ve ever been able to give it in the greenhouse, so it leafs out a bit and then goes dormant, but doesn’t really seem to thrive.

Here are some pics of what it looks like right now, just some strap-shaped leaves:

The flowers on these plants can be amazing, so I plan to take better care of it in 2020. I’ll top dress it and set it out in a sunny spot for spring/summer/fall. Maybe that will make the difference.
