Brunsvigia gregaria

Brunsvigia gregaria is a striking bulbous plant that bursts into vibrant pink or red flower clusters on tall stems, a show against the arid landscapes it calls home. Each bulb produces a rosette of broad leaves that fades before the blooms erupt in a seasonal spectacle signaling the end of summer dormancy. Adapted to dry conditions, brunsvigia gregaria conserves water, awaiting rain to prompt its dramatic display.

Water: Brunsvigia gregaria thrives in arid conditions with high drought tolerance, requiring weekly watering. It prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot and its bulbous structure efficiently stores water, making it ideal for xeriscaping across various climate zones.

Pruning: Brunsvigia gregaria showcases vibrant flowers and lush foliage. Prune in early spring to remove dead stems and thin overcrowded areas for better air circulation. Light pruning post-flowering encourages blooms, while heavy pruning may stunt growth, enhancing overall appearance and health.

Propagation: Brunsvigia gregaria is a bulbous plant that propagates via tubers. Offsets should be detached during dormancy and planted in well-draining soil just beneath the surface. Consistent moisture and warmth are essential for root and bulb growth, leading to the maturation and flowering of brunsvigia gregaria.
