Othocallis Siberica

Siberian squill does best in strong sunlight but can also cope in places with less sun. Sunlight positively affects its growth and health. Insufficient sun can reduce its vigor, while too much sun does not harm it.

The siberian squill prefers temperatures from 50 to 90℉ (10 to 32℃) and naturally grows in cool to mild climates. In spring it adapts well to cooler conditions and can tolerate frost. It may, however, struggle with hotter weather in summer. In the fall it again favors cooler temperatures and can endure light frost.

Typically, one fertilizer application in spring suffices for Siberian squill, though multiple feedings can optimize growth. Apply every month to six weeks. Fertilization improves leaf appearance and function, helping maintain uniform color and a healthy texture. It also promotes root development and nutrient uptake for long-term plant health.

Repot Siberian squill in early spring. Pick a pot that is wider than it is deep and provides good drainage. Use a loamy, well-draining potting mix enriched with compost. Carefully remove old soil from the bulb and plant it at a depth equal to the bulb's height. Water thoroughly after repotting and place the pot in a sunny spot. Avoid overwatering to prevent the bulb from rotting.
