Ledebouria Pauciflora

Ledebouria Pauciflora
Common Name: Speckled Squill

Ledebouria Pauciflora is a petite and charming bulb-forming succulent that adds delicate texture and subtle beauty to any collection. Native to South Africa, this species produces clusters of narrow, strap-like leaves marked with fine speckles or striping, giving it a unique, understated pattern. During its blooming season, it sends up slender flower spikes with tiny, bell-shaped blossoms in shades of greenish-white or pale lavender.

This low-growing plant is ideal for windowsills, rock gardens, or grouped with other miniature succulents. Its quiet elegance and forgiving care needs make it a hidden gem among collectors.

☀ Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sun may scorch the leaves, but a bit of morning light brings out the leaf markings.

💧 Watering Needs
Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In winter dormancy, reduce watering significantly.

🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Protect from frost—keep above 40°F. Best grown in containers in cooler climates so it can be brought indoors during cold months. Consider a [Heat Pack] for winter shipments.

✨ Special Features
• Bulb-Forming – Grows from small underground bulbs, often producing offsets over time.
• Speckled Foliage – Subtle patterns give it a soft, wild charm.
• Miniature Growth – Perfect for small pots, windowsills, or mixed succulent planters.
