Ledebouria socialis aka Leopard Plant

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Leopard Plant, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Leopard Plant should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Leopard Plant loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Leopard Plant prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it is common for Leopard Plant plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Leopard Plant is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Leopard Plant does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

Once the Leopard Plant has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

The Leopard Plant displays clumping growth habits, with new shoots arising from the soil close to the parent plant.

Leopard Plant’s native range is Southern Africa to India.
