When I bought this Leopard Lily a few years ago it was stated to be a succulent , but honestly I don't know that to be true.
The leopard lily is drought tolerant, grows bulbs on the side of the parent bulbs and really is a ideal houseplant which propagation is very easy to achieve.
Planting your leopard lily just right at soil levels helps them to not rot. Make sure you keep at a medium moisture but allow to dry out between waterings. #dianemummgardenvideos

Finally know what my plant is; someone gave me one of these. Thanks

[@HorseTender]

I was very happy to stumble across this video! I have one of these that I picked up on a clearance plant rack at one of the big home stores. Mine started out small but has gone crazy. I thought I had remembered reading that they could be propagated by dividing the bulbs, but I wasn't sure. It has a tag, but it was misidentified, so I've been searching and searching... I have always called it a "leopard plant" - it was neat to learn it is called Leopard Lily. Thanks for this video!

[@debbiemarch1952]

I had one and had no idea what I had. So I learned a lot. Ty

You are welcome Debbie, thanks for stopping by.. :)

[@dianemummvideos]

Have you ever seen a Leopard Lily? I love this plant.. and use it as a houseplant .

[@TANNHOWELL69]

wow. thanks. i had that same plant 15 yrs ago, and my mom liked it and took it. Never know what it was. But upon a visit to her. I spotted it out back and it looked terrible! I told her i was bringing it home. Was not sure what i did 15 yrs ago so I started looking it up. your video will help me alot. And no I have not seen any in 15 years. But when she is healthy, It is a gorgeous plant. I will be following you. and hope to learn more soon!

[@lizconnors2645]

Thanks for this! There isn't a ton of info about these out there. Mine was labeled "succulent air purifier" by the nursery. I'm so excited to try my hand at propagation using these as my starter plant.

[@dianemummvideos]

@101chriscruz , thanks for stopping by it looks like it helped ya..:)

[@missyretzlaff758]

a plant was given to me and she didn't know what it was, so after searching and googling, I found it is a leopard lily I didn't know how to take care of it or what to do or not to do but I found this Thank you so much!

[@melissa_renae]

Yay! I finally know what my plant is. I ordered some succulents from a grower who was kind enough to send a few extra things. Unfortunately, none of the stuff he sent was labeled, and I've been searching for two days, trying to figure out what I got. It's definitely a leopard lily. This video was very helpful. Thank you!

[@dianemummvideos]

[@joannvalinsky6245]

Thanks, learned lots . Just starting out, going to add all my babies too a larger pot.

[@dianemummvideos]

Good luck! JoAnn thank you for stopping by.. 👍

[@madhusush80]

Never knew it's called leopard Lily or silver squill..I have this plant for a year now and was looking on Google for it's name.. Bought it from some Farmers market.. It's growing out putting out lots of bulb which I didn't know what to do until I watched this video.. Thank you so much for all the information.. Tomorrow I'll repot it.

[@funwithFred]

Very good video on how to do this. Thanks so much for uploading.

[@TrevsOutbackandGoldAdventures]

Thanks for the great video and information.Thumbs up.

[@tholl1973]

Last week I bought a 6” pot with many Leopard Lilies in it. I’d never seen this plant before and was amazed at the plant shape, leopard spots, bulbs and purple undersides. It is doing so well in my east window!!! Good to know it blooms too 😮❤🪴❤️

[@dianemummvideos]

Wonderful!

[@joseymour2574]

I finally know what my little leopard lily is called. thanks. It came as one tiny bulb as a stowaway in another plant. It has since grown and multiplied even tho my cat has chewed on it a bit (not after painting the leaves with tobasco). It is a prolific little survivor. And pretty.

[@dianemummvideos]

good deal , glad you know now.. they they do seem to multiply nicely.. I have some I should probably divide out of their pots..

[@GeeHood666]

My leopard look like has purple flowers 😊

@HorseTender thanks for stopping by..

Thanks so much! I was given one of these ages ago, and now I know what to do with it!

Hi Kate, how is your leopard lily doing by now?

[@katieonlyusernameavailable]

@@dianemummvideos All great thanks and thriving! (Plus my friends loved their divisions too)

[@dianemummvideos]

[@trinablake225]

I love leopard lilies. Many years ago while living in San Diego, some friends had them. I asked, and was told they were "leopard plants" Well (pre-internet) the ones I could find didn't look like the one I wanted. Then, at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, they had them in the gift shop. WOOHOO! About 10 years ago we moved to Portland, and I had to "rehome" my houseplants. Still wanting one, but not knowing what the name was, I thought I was out of luck. Then, neighbors moved to the East Coast and had to rehome their houseplants. So I got one. Still didn't know the name. I knew it was time to repot, but how? Then I learned they are Leopard Lilies and I saw your video. Just finished dividing and potting. The parent plant was so rootbound, the plants were rather leggy. I hope they do well. I now have 8. Wish me (and them) luck!

[@dianemummvideos]

Hi Trina, I have 2 large overgrown pots I have to do something with soon... there is sooo many plants in each pot... crazy amount... I hope I too can successfully repot and divide some... they are really nice plants and relatively easy to take care of..enjoy yours!❤️👌😊

[@janetwilson713]

I've had one at my daughters in louisiana. And For more than a year it's been forgotten, neglected and i go and trim it, and water it and it takes off growing again and again, it has become my favorite and only plant. I dont even want any other kind anymore. She has became.amazed by it also. I bought it for 99 cents. And my Grandson said ," Really Nanna, you bought a dead plant." I said we will see if it's dead or not. It has become a member of the family. Llol.

[@dianemummvideos]

wow that is amazing Janet... I just did a video today on my houseplants and I have two very large in a pot .... they are so easy as a plant... sometimes they amaze you ..

[@AJToad]

Oh man! I have had one of these for over ten years, but could never figure out what it was. I have been taking terrible care of it, as a result, and feeling guilty about it. Somehow, I managed not to kill it, and the pot has, like, 50 bulbs in it now, haha. Such a relief! You get attached to your plants, y'know?

[@brendasullivan9094]

this plant is easy to care for, i keep mine in a smaller pot and repot when it gets full you can pot up bulbs and get a new plant.

[@christopherbaxley4468]

Thank you so much you video has helped us with the reporting of our Silver Squill. We just we just wanted to send you some pictures so you can see how ours are doing we're doing some repotting now so we'll send you after picture thank you.

[@dianemummvideos]

That is awesome!

[@karenmatson9369]

Grow like crazy hardley ever water them great plant

[@kentrockwoodtyler8798]

Thank you for the thorough information.

[@E.OMalley]

Hi Diane :) I bought a small overflowing pot of these a few summers back. I thought it was a succulent too, but it’s not, tho it behaves like one. It is very tolerant! I have only been watering about once a week, I’ve added it to another plant (which is leggy and tall) it seems to be happy anywhere. But now I am learning more about it and hope to have fuller, more lush leaves instead of long, floppy ones I have now. It’s so beautiful! Happy planting! 🪴☺️

[@dianemummvideos]

I have 2 really full pots ... I was thinking I should something with them and they even bloomed but it looks pot pound..

I bought mine at Walmart a couple years ago, of all places :)

[@dianemummvideos]

yes it is amazing what you can find there some times.. :)

[@marcstewart9630]

I had just got one of theses an repotted it took some bulbs an put in a new pot an they r growing just fine i myself haven't seen many of theses so i had to get it

[@dianemummvideos]

Hi Marc, yeah you just don't see them much around.. once you get a plant you can definitely create more plants in no time at all..

[@patricialisowski1080]

First time I saw the “correct” name for these little guys. They also go by Scilla. I like leopard lily better

[@SharonGreggsKikiRose]

Thank you for sharing! I have these but they are leggy. I have them in regular potting soil and they've done well. The flowers are cute and grow tall but don't last as long as I'd like, but then again, orchid blooms last a couple months. I was afraid to put these bulbs down in the soil but now that I see how well they do, they'll be getting a new pot and cactus mix. Thank you for the information!

[@patricialisowski1080]

If theyre leggy they need more light, but not full sun.

[@mattlloyd9054]

@@patricialisowski1080 will cutting the leggy growth hurt it? Mine are no where close to looking like the ones in the video their also have sorta yellowed leaves nor do they have as thick of a leaf. This fall and winter is the most they've grown in the 2 years I've had this little colony of them. They've multiplied since day one but no leggy growth till now??? No idea what's up with them????

[@mreunome]

They grow like weeds! So easy. A friend gave me a piece years ago and I have so many. They love the sun and when I bring them in for winter they lose their markings without the bright light. They seem to like to be crowed as more and more bulbs form and fall off to replicate.

[@dianemummvideos]

Thanks for sharing! Yes I have experienced the same.. only mine have always been indoors in south window... and the pots are very crowded.. maybe a video to come .. :)

[@theresabrownlow5377]

I just found these in a Colorado greenhouse brought them home on an airplane to Illinois we have nowhere the variety I found there could have filled both suitcases but sadly I had to bring my stuff home . I was able to get three varieties I don’t have here

[@dianemummvideos]

nice.. always fun to shop in other areas.. good luck!

[@dianemummvideos]

@fitchick82 , I didn't, but they would be fine either way so don't be afraid too, and just let them sit a day to be sure, this is much different than any other succulent I have seen , and honestly not sure it is a succulent but I was told it was when I purchased. So use your own discretion. good luck and thanks for stopping by. :)

[@carolinagamonal9080]

Hi! Thanks for your video, I’m going to divide them now. I have read that is not a succulent, that’s why it can take cold temperatures better. ( 30F max.)

[@madhusush80]

1 question though... This is succulent and you're planning it in a very big pot, when you water it, wouldn't it be too much

[@plantmeroses2346]

Hi. Thanks for the Vid. I actually have a bonsai African Squill. I didn't know it can be called leopard lilly. Love the larger ones you have. Can I separate the tiny bulbs on my tiny guy...and repot it??

[@dianemummvideos]

each bulb can be their own plant .. it is up to you how full you want your pots to look ..

[@liltawawa7004]

Thanks @ Diane Yes I have some pup bulbs gifted from a lady in NSW, Australia 🇦🇺 but she didn’t know what it was called either, mine aren’t doing to well, Maybe needs more water and sun? Are they frost tolerant?

[@mamybearreal596]

Are this torerant on cold weather. Very beautiful plant i ordered mine at etsy. One tiny one.

[@dianemummvideos]

During the active growth period, normal room temperatures are suitable for Ledebouria socialis plants. During the rest period keep them at 10-15°C (50-59°F), if possible.

[@mamybearreal596]

@@dianemummvideos thank you ma'am. Have a great day.

[@cynthiaquintero2582]

I have one and the bulbs are showing is the bulb supposed to be covered with dirt or can they be shown? It's beautiful and it's already flowering.

[@dianemummvideos]

yes they should be fine...

[@dougsullivan6124]

Diane Thanks for this video. I want to know if you think it would do well in a Tree Frog Vivarium. There will be areas that I can keep the soil drier if needed but it will have High humidity and bright to moderate HO Fluorescent lighting. It is a large 48 cu. ft. Viv and I am looking for suitable smaller plants. Any suggestions would be great. Doug

[@dianef6038]

How many can thrive together in one pot?

[@dianemummvideos]

Hi Tae, I guess it depends on the size of the pot.. but I have two pots loaded with these and they seem to be doing ok.. I bottom water once a week and so far so good.. good luck to you!

[@abusayem9575]

plese say something about its media

[@dianemummvideos]

You can use a cactus soil for all succulents.. I also have a video on making your own soil..

[@jmaglieri]

If my Leopard Lilly isn't flowering is it too crowded in its pot, or lack of light perhaps?

[@dianemummvideos]

could be a combination of the two.. mine have yet to bloom this year.. my plants are crowded but good lighting.

[@NC-wl1xm]

Thank you for this video! I found one at Lowes. My leafs get very flimsy and don't stand up nice and firm like yours. What am I doing wrong? How much water do they need. I'm in Zone 10 S. Florida kept outside. Should they be in full sun or shade? Oh you pull them off without roots? do they root easily? What type of soil do you use? How deep should bulbs be in soil? So cool!

[@dianemummvideos]

these plants seem to love to be crowded. I may create a new video on updates on my houseplants because these are gorgeous in my south window.. mine do get flimsy when need watering.. I water once a week..

best to use a succulent soil if you can find it.

@@dianemummvideos I have a small one I bought a few months ago, it was doing well.....but if they go kind of limpy is that from over watering??
