Ledebouria socialis (Scilla Violacea/Leopard Lily)

Ledebouria socialis or ‘Leopard Lillies’ are indoor succulent bulbs that provide the most gorgeous spotty foliage, ranging from deep green to lime these leaves are really stunning. The bulb is dormant in the Winter but the foliage doesn’t die back as is the case with other indoor bulbs. The plant flowers with small white blooms in the Spring when the growing season starts up.

RATING- Moderate

LOVES- A bright but indirectly lit spot away form direct sunlight, too much sunlight can burn the leaves and fade the variegation. Water when the top inch of soil dries out. Enjoys high humidity- a steamy bathroom would be perfect.

HATES- Overwatering especially in Winter- these bulbs are dormant in the winter so need just enough water to keep it ticking over until Spring. Allow the plant to remain dry for a few days before watering. The bulb stores water so has some reserves.

Pot diameter- 12cm
