Schizobasis intricata (syn. Drimia intricata)
Schizobasis intricata is an unusual bulbous plant grown for its fine, wiry, branching stems rather than foliage or flowers. A small, partially exposed bulb produces a network of thin, green stems that twist and tangle as they grow, giving the plant a delicate, sculptural appearance.
This species follows a strong seasonal growth cycle. During active growth, the stems elongate rapidly, then die back during dormancy. Plants are supplied as established, rooted bulbs grown under nursery conditions.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright light to light shade. Avoid harsh, direct sun.
- Water: Water during active growth only. Keep almost dry when dormant.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient.
- Temperature: Warm-growing. Protect from frost.
- Growing media: Very free-draining mix suitable for bulbs.
Key Characteristics
- Growth habit: Bulbous plant with wiry, branching stems
- Bulb: Small, translucent & partially exposed above the soil surface
- Stems: Thin, green, photosynthetic and highly branched
- Seasonality: Strongly seasonal with a dormant period
- Growth rate: Fast during active growth
