Is my silver squill healthy?
#SilverSquill I feel like the base of the plant always seems kind of shriveled. I repotted it last year and it has grown quite a bit but I feel like it’s not thriving.
1ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage

It could be from over or under watering. Depending on what kind of soil it's in, it might not be draining well enough. If it's not already in a succulent mix might try moving it to one.
They seem to be picky about their water. Online says to let the soil become dry at the top down to about an inch. I cheated with mine, I plant in clear nursery planters that I can pop out of the decorative pot and get a look at the soil/roots.
I'd recommend getting it into a well draining succulent mix. Can buy or make one. I make my own with 1 part potting mix, 2 parts sand, 2 parts perlite. Optionally you can add some worm castings and/or diamatacious earth as well.
Hopefully this helps!
