The root system of the plant requires space, so it makes sense to choose a pot that has a height and diameter of at least half a meter.
The bottom of the pot should be lined with a drainage layer: despite the fact that calla lilies are native to swampy places, they do not like stagnation of moisture at the roots.
Is it possible to grow outdoor calla lilies at home
This plant grows excellently in a flower pot on a windowsill or summer terrace.
The advantage of growing in flowerpots is that you don’t have to dig up the tubers for the winter; just move the pot to the basement.
What needs to be done to make callas bloom
First you need to lower only half of the tuber into the ground.
Next, water the tuber daily for several days (preferably even several times a day).
Later, after the first leaves appear, you need to sprinkle the tuber another 1 cm and continue to water.
How to properly care for calla lilies at home
Temperature and Humidity: Calla lilies prefer warm temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius and high humidity.
If air humidity is low, spray the leaves regularly.
Feeding: During the period of active growth (spring and summer), calla lilies should be fed with special fertilizers for flowers every 2-4 weeks.
Why doesn't calla lilies grow in a pot
Lack of light is the most important reason for the absence or poor quality of flowering.
Callas need a well-lit place with shade from direct sunlight.
In winter, if callas are not at rest, they will need lighting, but the Ethiopian, which can bloom at this time, needs light all year round.
