How do you grow calla lilies so they bloom more? Master these care tips

1. Suitable soil and fertilizer

Plant it in fertile, airy soil, preferably slightly acidic, with the soil pH best in the range of 5.5-7. As for the base fertilizer, the amount must be sufficient, but during the growth process you must control the amount of fertilizer used, otherwise it will grow yellow leaves.

After it blooms for the first time, it is best to repot it and add new soil. After it resumes growing, raise the temperature for it, and it will bloom a second time. So base fertilizer is a key point in ensuring it produces more flowers.

2. Plenty of water

It will not die from too much water. During its blooming period, give it plenty of water and keep the soil in the pot moist enough, so it can grow more flowers. However, after blooming, gradually reduce the amount of water to encourage it to go dormant.

3. Moderate light

Pay attention to light during its blooming period. It likes long hours of sunlight, but does not like strong light, and especially must not be exposed to direct sunlight. If it does not get enough light while blooming, it will only grow buds without opening; the buds will gradually turn green, then dry up and die.

4. Pay attention to pruning and the environment

It is a plant that can live for many years and can bloom many times in a year. To make it bloom several more times, you can remove its old leaves to encourage its buds to grow.

It likes warm areas, and its favorite temperature is 13 degrees, so in severe winter it must not go below about 10 degrees. If you want it to bloom earlier in winter, you can adjust the temperature to around 15 degrees.

It is very sensitive to smoke. If it is often placed near the kitchen, its leaves will turn yellow, the flowers will drop, and its growth will be very poor, so you must be careful.
