Ledebouria is a genus of small, attractive and very hardy bulbs in the Hyacinth family. These little legends are native across sub-Saharan Africa with a few outlying species in Madagascar and India. 

Ledebouria petiolata, formally known as Drimiopsis maculata is a particularly awesome little bulb that is really tolerant of neglect making them super easy to grow. They produce clumps of pinkish-white bulbs that each produce 1 to 2 cordate leaves on long slender petioles (leaf stalks). Each leaf is covered with striking purple spots which make it a very attractive pot plant.

    Caring for your Ledebouria petiolata a.k.a Drimiopsis maculata

    Position

    A position with heaps of bright indirect light is great for these guys. They will handel full morning sun but not afternoon sun, especially in summer as the leaves will burn. They are also perfectly happy in a shady spot but the marking on the leaves will become dull over time if growm in shade.

    Managing Growth

    These beauties remain fairly compact only growing to around 35cm tall and forming a clump of bulbs approximately 30cm wide. The clump of bulbs can beeasily divided to keep the plants small. Currently they are about 10-15cm tall.

    Watering

    Re-water when the soil is almost dry, about two to three times a week in Summer and every week or two in winter. These guys are quite drought tolerant so best to underwater rather than overwater.

    Our special eco packaging

    No Plant Stress

    Our plant packaging is designed by people know how to keep plants fresh and healthy in transit. Your plants will enjoy a comfortable trip directly from our greenhouse to your door in just a few of days. Your plant will not have to deal with the stress of being bare rooted for transport (how most plants are sent) and you won’t have to deal with the mess and fuss of potting up your new plant when you receive it.

    Stability Support

    The plastic pot will be wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in place, it will then be tied into a specially designed cardboard insert which will keep it stable and upright throughout its journey. The insert will be glued in place on top of your cardboard wrapped ceramic pot to hold it down and your plant up!

    No Re-Potting

    Your plant will come in its plastic pot which we make sure fits perfectly in whichever ceramic pot you choose. Our packaging has been designed to allow us to send your beautiful ceramic pot along with your plant, fully potted, yep in soil, together in the same box.

    Fully Recyclable

    The thing that we’re most proud of is that our packaging is fully recyclable and re-useable so you don’t have to feel bad about generating more packaging waste. In fact you should feel awesome because ordering from us, online, will generate way less emissions than if you were to drive to the nursery to buy a plant.
