    Frizzle sizzle, botanical name Albuca spiralis, is an unusual plant that typically grows in winter and goes dormant in the summer in warm zones like Florida. It can also be kept as a houseplant year-round without going dormant. Yes, you can fertilize it in winter, then stop fertilizing and watering in summer to allow dormancy. If desired, you can plant it outdoors or place the pot outdoors, which may encourage it to flower.

    Here is more information about this plant. The article explains how to fertilize it:

    I would say that you could plant all of them in a 5 gallon container or larger with no problem. You should plant them 3 to 5 inches under the soil level.

    You will want to bury most of the bulb, just leaving the very top exposed. Overtime, they will multiply and crowd, which will keep them all upright. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/albuca/caring-for-albuca-plants.htm

    It's best to stop watering when the plant goes dormant, and resume regular watering when new foliage begins to appear in the winter. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/albuca/albuca-spiral-grass.htm
