Difficulty

Water

Pyrenean Squill should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Pyrenean Squill 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.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Pyrenean Squill prefers bright diffused 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.

Dormancy

During the wintertime, it's common for Pyrenean Squill to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
