Silver Squill
(Ledebouria socialis)

Add a touch of exotic beauty and unique texture to your indoor plant collection with the Silver Squill. Native to South Africa, this low-growing bulbous plant features eye-catching, silver-speckled, lance-shaped leaves with deep green or purplish undersides. Its compact, clumping habit and striking coloration make it an ideal choice for windowsills, desktops, or mixed succulent displays. In spring, it may produce small, delicate purple or pinkish-lavender flowers, adding extra charm to its already impressive foliage.

Key Features:

• Distinctive Foliage: Silvery, spotted leaves with purple undersides create bold contrast and texture.

• Compact Growth: Reaches 4–6 inches in height, making it perfect for small containers and tight spaces.

• Easy-Care Houseplant: Thrives with minimal attention—great for beginners or busy plant lovers.

• Seasonal Blooms: May produce petite, bell-shaped flowers in spring or early summer.

• Drought-tolerant: Stores water in its small bulbs, making it highly resilient to dry conditions.

• Pet-Friendly Note: Toxic if ingested by pets—keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct morning sun.

• Watering: Allow soil to dry out between waterings; overwatering can lead to bulb rot.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent soil.

• Temperature: Thrives in typical indoor temperatures (60–80°F); protect from frost.

• Repotting: Rarely needed; can remain in the same pot for years and will multiply over time.

Whether grouped with other succulents or showcased on its own, the Silver Squill is a stunning and easy-to-care-for plant that brings shimmering foliage and natural elegance to any indoor space.
