Curl up and get cozy, because the frizzy sizzle plant is not curling. Frizzle sizzle plants are known for their curly leaves, but this particular one doesn’t seem to be getting the hang of it!
The good news is that there are a few things you can do to help your frizzle sizzle plant curl…
Why Is My Frizzle Sizzle Not Curling?
Your frizzle sizzle plant is not curling because it has been allowed to flower, it has been given too much water, or it hasn’t received enough light.
Unfortunately, this is something that happens on a regular basis to nearly all frizzle sizzle plant owners. As you gain more experience, you will be able to prevent your frizzle sizzle plant from curling.
Interestingly, the flower is dormant during the summer months. The leaves will still be there, but the plant doesn’t bloom when it’s hot. Instead, the sizzle frizzle waits until the winter before growing once again.
I will now go over what you can do to stop this event from happening in the future, along with how you can help your current frizzle sizzle.
How To Stop Frizzle Sizzle from Uncurling?
First, check if your plant has been allowed to flower. If so – prune back some of those blossoms and see if that helps with leaf growth and curling.
Second, make sure you’re giving the correct amount of water (but don’t overwater). Overwatering can lead to the plant wilting and uncurling. As such, only water when the top few inches of the soil is dry to the touch.
In fact, I like to use a cactus soil mix with my sizzle frizzle plants. It’s a great way to ensure that the frizzle sizzle plants receive just enough water, and it will help with drainage too.
Finally, your plant may not be receiving enough light. If you notice this is the case – move the pot to a well-lit area of your home or office so that sunlight can fall directly on it for the most part of the day.
These three tips should help you get started when dealing with an uncurling frizzle sizzle plant. Once mastered, these steps are easy to follow even for first-time owners!
