Yellowing calla lily leaves are very common. Today we are going to explain why calla lily leaves turn yellow and how to fix it after they do.

Causes of yellowing leaves and solutions

I. Overwatering or underwatering

1. Cause

This problem may come down to watering. Calla lilies prefer a moist environment, but there are still some things to keep in mind, written below.

2. Solution

Calla lilies like a moist environment, but be careful in winter. Never keep watering blindly, as that will freeze the roots of the calla lily because of the cold, and the next step after yellowing leaves may be death. But at other times, watering calla lilies generously is no problem. If you water too much, you need to replace the soil and keep the soil as dry as possible. If you water too little, you need to water frequently to replenish the moisture.

II. Overfertilizing or underfertilizing

1. Cause

Friends who have grown calla lilies surely have experience with this: although the flowers and leaves of the calla lily are beautiful, it is hard to know how often to change the fertilizer.

2. Solution

Calla lilies need fertilizing. Generally, they can be fertilized once every 15 days, not too often or too little. If you fertilize too much, you need to replace the soil again; if you fertilize too little, you also need to add the needed fertilizer to the soil to keep nutrients sufficient.

III. Temperature too high or too low

1. Cause

Calla lilies are suited to growing at normal temperatures, generally 20 to 25°C. In summer, be sure not to expose them to direct sunlight, as it very easily causes the leaves to turn yellow and rot.

2. Solution

In summer, they need to be placed in a place with circulating air and suitable temperature. In winter, it is recommended to place them somewhere slightly warmer to avoid the calla lily being frostbitten. Usually, indoors or a spot with direct sunlight is more suitable for calla lilies.
