laura735. I would love to have instructions for the care of this plant. My plant does look good but it never changes. I have had it for about 2 years. It almost died once when I had it in direct sunlight. I only guess when it needs water. So any info will be appreciated. My email is dds20@msn.com. Thank you very much.

I want to add: To help care for your plant, if you like, you can email me. I want to give you proper information and not to harm your plant. Yours seems to look fine at the moment. Laura.

Hi ddsmsncom, I claim no expert at this genus. But I have Drimiopsis Maculata. Its leaves are more ‘hosta’ like, hence one of its common name: ‘African false hosta’. To my eyes, yours have a longer leaf and look more like some type of orchid leaf. Please remember, I am not an expert on this genus, I am always guessing from the provided photos. When yours blooms you can tell more. There is not much information on D. kirkii. I had to dig quite deep 🙂 and found some. Keep on Google it. There are some mislabeling as well. I think yours are so much prettier than mine actually. Check out the link below. Best wishes! http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Drimiopsis

Thank you Laura735. I had no idea where to look next for this plant. I do believe it is a Drimiopsis. Giant Squill grows different than mine. I think it is more like Drimiopsis Maculata. I don’t think mine is growing the best it could because I didn’t know what it needed. Thank you again so much.

Thank you I am going to look this up. I will post when I see it.

Maybe a species of Drimiopsis. This might be Giant Squill (Drimiopsis kirkii aka Drimiopsis botryoides subsp. botryoides).
