Care Guide

Light

Silver Squill plants prefer bright light, but can be adapted to moderate exposures. Avoid extremes like low light or harsh direct light while your plant is acclimating to its new environment.

Water and Soil

The Leopard Lily’s water needs will be very similar to those of a succulent. Only water when the soil is dry. When in doubt, err on the side of underwatering. Overwatering will cause this plants bulbs to soften and rot, producing a rank smell.

Temperature and Humidity

The Leopard Lily does well at average indoor temperatures. This plant does not require high humidity, and in fact will do best in the lower to average humidity found in most homes.
