8" Leopard Squill (Scilla scilloides)
Leopard squill (Scilla scilloides) care is relatively straightforward:
1. Light: They prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day.
2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
3. Temperature: They prefer moderate temperatures. Avoid extremes of heat or cold.
4. Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually sufficient. They don’t require high humidity levels.
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix formulated for succulents or cacti works well.
6. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
7. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring if the plant has outgrown its pot.
8. Dormancy: Leopard squill will go dormant in the fall. During dormancy, reduce watering and stop fertilizing until new growth appears in spring.
9. Pests and Diseases: They are generally pest-free but watch for common houseplant pests like spider mites or mealybugs. Treat promptly if detected.
By following these care guidelines, you can keep your leopard squill healthy and thriving.
