📝 Description
Morphological Characteristics
Ledebouria socialis ‘Silver Squill’ is a distinctive and ornamental bulbous succulent with silver-green lance-shaped leaves adorned with dark green leopard-like spots. The undersides of the leaves are often deep purple, providing a striking color contrast.
The plant grows from small, exposed bulbs that sit above the soil surface, each producing several leaves in a rosette formation. As the plant matures, it spreads to form a clumping colony of attractive foliage. Though primarily grown for its leaves, it can also produce tiny, bell-shaped lavender flowers in spring or early summer on slender stalks.
Growth Habits
This is a compact, slow-spreading succulent that thrives in pots or shallow trays. Its unusual growth from exposed bulbs and upright foliage make it ideal for bonsai-style dish gardens or textured group plantings.
Maintenance Points
• Lighting: Prefers bright indirect light to partial sun. Can tolerate full sun when acclimated gradually.
• Watering: Allow soil to dry out between watering. Water sparingly during winter dormancy. Avoid letting water sit around the bulbs.
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix is best. Slightly sandy or gritty soil is ideal.
• Temperature: Performs well in warm environments, ideally 18–28°C (65–82°F). Not frost-tolerant; minimum 5°C (41°F).
• Fertilization: Use diluted liquid fertilizer during active growth (spring and summer) once per month.
• Dormancy: May go semi-dormant in winter—reduce watering and withhold fertilizer.
Display & Use
Perfect for windowsills, small pots, and miniature landscapes. It’s often used as a foliage accent in mixed succulent planters. Its spotted leaves and purple tones add texture and visual depth to indoor displays.
Pairs beautifully with lithops, haworthia, and crassula species due to its modest size and contrasting form.
