Solitary SquillDrimia uniflora

Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period (autumn and winter) to prevent rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Pruning is generally not required for Drimia uniflora. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant as they appear to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential disease. This also helps in airflow.

Propagation is primarily done through offsets or bulbils produced by the parent plant. These can be carefully separated when the plant is dormant and replanted in well-draining soil.

Seeds can also be sown, but this is a slower method.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the bulb has outgrown its container, ideally in spring before new growth begins. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the top of the bulb remains slightly exposed above the soil surface.
