Extremely easy to grow, it thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings, requiring minimal care. This plant is perfect for those who want to add a touch of nature to their space without the hassle, making it an ideal choice for busy or forgetful plant lovers. ## Description The Silver Squill plant (Ledebouria violacea), also known as the Leopard Lily for its beautiful patterned foliage, is one of the easiest and most attractive plants you will ever grow. It’s one of those plants that thrives on neglect – it is drought-tolerant, so you don’t need to worry about watering on a regular schedule, just enjoy its amazing looks! If you’re an orchid collector, these Silver Squills may remind you of Australian Dendrobium kingianum orchids, as their bulbs are around the same size and leaf shape is also similar. But the real draw is the incredible patterning on the silverish leaves, as they truly stand out in any collection of plants. Orchids generally have non-descript leaves, so having one of these in your collection makes for a beautiful display. Plus, these plants multiply so easily and grow in any conditions where you don’t have prolonged freezing (so bring them indoors during the winter). Just plant them in a quick-draining soil (cactus or succulent mix is good, although it will grow in pretty much anything). These Silver Squills originate from an arid, dry part of South Africa. The botanical definition of a succulent is a plant that has some parts (bulbs, leaves, roots) that are especially thick as they act as water storage, enabling the plant to live in dry and arid climates, such as deserts and homes of lazy/forgetful growers. While the leaves of the Silver Squill (botanical name Ledebouria violacea) are not thickened, the plump bulbs clearly look like water storage organs. A number of postings on the web say that these squills are not succulents, but these are all from regular individuals who seem to be passing along something they read on another website, rather than offering a clear scientific reason as to why Ledebouria violacea (socialis) is actually NOT a succulent. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck, no? ## Features - Beautiful, attractive leopard-like leaf patterns - Extremely easy to grow! Perfect for lazy/forgetful growers! Can grow indoors or outdoors (avoid freezing). - Can handle bright conditions, even full sun once acclimated. For best results grow in bright shady conditions, watering once or twice per week. Grow in cactus/succulent mix (quick draining), fertilize every other week. - Plants come potted up in 2.25-inch square pots. Please see photos for representative plants and size reference. ## Product Details - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Indoor - **Brand:** Orchid Insanity - **Color:** Silver - **Expected Blooming Period:** Winter - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count - **Expected Planting Period:** Winter - **Soil Type:** Sandy Soil - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering ## Images ![– Silver Squill Leopard Lily – South African Drought-Tolerant Succulent Extremely Easy to Grow, Beautiful Leaf Patterns (Small) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81deAjOeONL.jpg) ![– Silver Squill Leopard Lily – South African Drought-Tolerant Succulent Extremely Easy to Grow, Beautiful Leaf Patterns (Small) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qESpacMzL.jpg) ![– Silver Squill Leopard Lily – South African Drought-Tolerant Succulent Extremely Easy to Grow, Beautiful Leaf Patterns (Small) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81upDuOkLPL.jpg) ![– Silver Squill Leopard Lily – South African Drought-Tolerant Succulent Extremely Easy to Grow, Beautiful Leaf Patterns (Small) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716-gUFUIJL.jpg) ![– Silver Squill Leopard Lily – South African Drought-Tolerant Succulent Extremely Easy to Grow, Beautiful Leaf Patterns (Small) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mqVugNLkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect healthy plant delivered! *by M***N on September 24, 2022* Was skeptical about ordering living plant online but couldn’t find this gem locally. Delivered fresh & healthy & continues to thrive!! I spent more $$ driving around town looking for this plant than I ended up paying for it. NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great indoor plant *by M***I on April 11, 2019* The cutest little spotted plant ever! It is incredibly difficult to kill and easy to grow. I’ve found indirect sunlight is best as the leaves can sun burn if placed in direct lighting. So, I suggest placing the plant by a window. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Orchid insanity *by E***T on April 20, 2020* a bit disappointed in the plant, leaves are very narrow does not grow as displayed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/111324187-silver-squill-leopard-lily-south-african-drought-tolerant-succulent-extremely](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/111324187-silver-squill-leopard-lily-south-african-drought-tolerant-succulent-extremely) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
