# This is my Silver Squill that I bought in 2017. It was just this…

_Posted by Carrie on 2026-06-13_

This is my Silver Squill that I bought in 2017. It was just this weird little plant that I had never seen before. I kept it alive, sometimes just barely. But since  
Moving to Arizona and putting it on my back patio, it is thriving now. So don’t give up on your plants, google them, ask AI questions, play with the placement and don’t overwater.

Bright light. I’ve followed Plantas schedule for fertilizing and water and it’s worked.
