leopard plant succulent Drimiopsis maculataDrimiopsis maculata is a charming South African bulb succulent that is quite unlike most succulents you will come across. Its glossy, deep green leaves are decorated with darker green or purple tinged spots, giving it an exotic, tropical look. In spring and early summer it sends up slender spikes of tiny white flowers. As a geophyte, it grows from a bulb and will naturally go dormant in winter, losing its leaves before bouncing back with vigour in
Drimiopsis maculata is a charming South African bulb succulent that is quite unlike most succulents you will come across. Its glossy, deep green leaves are decorated with darker green or purple-tinged spots, giving it an exotic, tropical look. In spring and early summer it sends up slender spikes of tiny white flowers. As a geophyte, it grows from a bulb and will naturally go dormant in winter, losing its leaves before bouncing back with vigour in spring. This makes it a fascinating and rewarding plant to grow.
| 📐 Current Size | |
| ☀️ Sun | Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves. |
| ⚠️ Toxicity | Mildly toxic. Can cause stomach upset if ingested by humans or pets. Keep out of reach of curious animals and children. |
| 💧 Watering | Water regularly during the growing season in spring and summer. Reduce watering significantly in autumn and cut back to almost none in winter while the plant is dormant. |
| 🌿 Fertilising | Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser. |
| 📏 Mature Size | 20 to 30cm tall. Spreads over time by producing offsets and multiplying bulbs. |
| 🌿 Difficulty | Easy to moderate. The winter dormancy can catch some growers off guard, but do not panic as it is perfectly normal. |
| 🎨 Colours | Deep green leaves with dark spots. Small white flower spikes in spring and summer. |
| 🛡️ Disease Resistant | Generally good. |
| 🏜️ Drought Tolerant | Moderate. Not as drought tolerant as typical succulents. |
| 🔥 Heat Tolerant | Moderate. |
| 🪨 Poor Soil | Prefers well-draining soil with some richness. A loamy, free-draining mix works well. |
| 📝 Additional Notes | An excellent indoor plant or shaded patio plant. The bulbs multiply over time, giving you more plants to share. The leaves dying back in winter is perfectly normal dormant behaviour. |
