Care Tips for Your Scilla violacea:

Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the biggest threat to this succulent. During the winter months, reduce watering significantly.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent potting mix to ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot.
Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures. Protect it from freezing conditions.
Repotting: Repot only when necessary, using a slightly larger pot than the current one.
