Here’s a complete care guide for Drimiopsis Kirkii Giant Squill 🌿 (also known as Giant Squill, Leopard Lily, or Little White Soldiers) — a hardy, bulbous plant valued for its spotted leaves and easy, drought-tolerant nature.
Here’s a complete care guide for Drimiopsis Kirkii Giant Squill :
🌤️ Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect light for best leaf color and spotting.
-
Can tolerate partial sunlight or even full morning sun.
-
In strong afternoon sunlight, provide light shade to prevent leaf scorch.
-
Indoors: place near an east- or west-facing window.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Thrives in warm temperatures:
-
Day: 22–32°C
-
Night: above 15°C
-
-
Tolerates short dry periods but avoid cold drafts or frost.
💧 Watering
-
Water moderately during the growing season (spring–summer).
-
Allow the topsoil to dry between waterings — this plant dislikes soggy soil.
-
In the dormant season (winter), water sparingly (once every 2–3 weeks).
-
Overwatering may cause bulb rot.
💨 Humidity
-
Average room humidity (40–60%) is sufficient.
-
It adapts well to dry indoor air — no misting needed.
🌱 Soil
-
Use a well-draining mix, similar to succulent soil:
-
1 part garden soil + 1 part sand/perlite + 1 part compost or cocopeat.
-
-
The soil must stay airy to prevent waterlogging around the bulbs.
🌿 Fertilizer
-
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) diluted to half strength.
-
Stop fertilizing during winter dormancy.
🪴 Potting & Repotting
-
Use shallow pots with good drainage holes (bulbs prefer to sit just below soil surface).
-
Repot every 2–3 years or when bulbs crowd the pot.
-
Best time to repot: early spring before active growth starts.
🌼 Flowering
-
Produces small white to pale green flowers on upright stalks in spring or early summer.
-
After flowering, remove spent stalks to keep the plant tidy.
-
The leaves may go semi-dormant or shed slightly in winter — this is normal.
⚠️ Common Problems
| Issue | Cause |
|---|---|
| Yellow or mushy bulbs | Overwatering or poor drainage |
| Brown leaf tips | Underwatering or too much direct sun |

| No flowers | Lack of light or nutrients |
🪴 Extra Tips
-
Can be grown both indoors and outdoors in warm regions.
-
Excellent low-maintenance houseplant for sunny windowsills or balconies.
-
Mildly toxic if ingested — keep out of reach of pets.
