How do you care for a calla lily?

Choose fertile soil rich in organic matter. You can place some gravel or charcoal at the bottom of the pot for drainage and moisture retention. After planting, water it and place it in a ventilated spot on the balcony.

2. Temperature

The most suitable temperature for the calla lily to grow is around 20-30 degrees, so shade treatment is needed in summer, and cold protection and warmth are needed in winter.

3. Watering

When the surface of the potting soil is somewhat dry, you can water it appropriately. When watering, you can also rinse the leaves together, which helps the leaves breathe and keeps them evergreen. But be careful not to let water accumulate in the pot.

4. Fertilizing

Fertilizing begins during the growing period of the calla lily. Usually, fertilizing can be done about every 20 days. During the blooming period, fertilize about once every 10 days, and dilute the fertilizer with water first when applying it.

The calla lily has a long blooming period and a graceful plant shape, and it is not very difficult to grow, so friends who like it might as well pot a few at home.
