It is well past time to bring the Ledebourias out from under lights into the sun.  

Here is Ledebouria agavoides from Lebona in NE South Africa in a 9" tall clay pot of pure pumice 
Latitude: +36.99028 (36°59'25.008"N)
Insolation: 5.85 to 1.64 kWh/m2/day

Very nice, Rimmer! Do you grow all of your Ledebourias in pure pumice?

I've moved away from perlite to pumice, but usually it's only about a third of my mix even for things that need fast drainage.

This one needs the free drainage, most are in a sandy pumice mix, with little to no organics (sifted peat)

Actually I bought this Ledebouria concolor
as some sort of by-catch - and because I didn't have any LEDs (like the nickname a lot) and I have that tick that I try to be pretty complete in my genera (mind you not species - I'd need to dig over the whole neighborhood). I'm mostly happy with it, but I feel I have to find a way to keep the leaves intact...
