Its striking silver-spotted leaves emerge from bulb-like bases, creating a dense, clumping rosette that looks beautiful in terrariums, dish gardens, and mixed succulent planters. This variegated form adds extra visual interest with creamy edges or streaks on the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to South Africa, Silver Squill is prized for its easy-going nature and tolerance of dry conditions. It performs well as a houseplant in bright, indirect light and can be grown outdoors in warm climates where temperatures stay above freezing. The plant produces small, nodding greenish flowers on slender stems, adding a subtle seasonal accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive silver-spotted, variegated leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, clumping growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought-tolerant and low-maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for containers, terrariums, and rock gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows from bulb-like bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ledebouria socialis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Succulent, bulbous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light; protect from harsh afternoon sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-draining cactus or succulent mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; allow soil to dry between waterings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clumping, upright rosettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant your bare root Silver Squill in a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil. Position the bulbous base so the top is just at or slightly above the soil line, then water lightly and allow the plant to settle. Place in bright, indirect light; a sunny window with filtered light is ideal. Water sparingly at first, increasing frequency once new growth appears. During the growing season, water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver Squill is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can cause bulb rot. Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer once in spring and once in midsummer. Remove spent flower stems if desired. In frost-free climates, it can be grown outdoors in rock gardens or as a border plant. In cooler regions, bring containers indoors before the first frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne bare root Ledebouria socialis 'Silver Squill' variegated succulent plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776108036406,"sku":"FOLIA-047","price":53.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6675464752_gabg.jpg?v=1792467631","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/ledebouria-socialis-silver-squill-1-bare-root-variegated-succulent-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
