Picked up a Albuca spiralis 'Frizzle Sizzle' about 2 weeks ago.
It was in a peat based soil and I replanted it in a quick draining pumice mix.

Some Notes on what I noticed on the short time I have had it.
My plan was to water the plant once a week.
It was watered Saturday the 31st. I noticed the leaves drooping only 2 or 3 days after watering. So I thought it like like to stay wet a little longer then the quick drying soil I used. I watered it again, on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It did well till I watered again on Saturday the 7th. I noticed Monday the 9th a few leaves starting to droop already. I thought about watering it again, but held off.
We have had a few hot days recently for this time of year. I know this is a winter growing plant and I noticed that in the morning all the leaves where upright the next day.
So my observation is when it gets hot, the kitchen where I grow this plant in full sun was around 78 degrees on Monday, the plant leaves will start to droop in the heat.

The bulb has formed a split.
Is the split from too much water? Normal growth? Bulb dividing?
