Calla Lily 6" Pot

Calla Lily Care Basics

Calla lilies are elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers that can thrive both indoors as houseplants and outdoors in garden beds. Here is a simple guide to keeping them healthy

1. Light & Temperature

• Bright, Indirect Light: They love plenty of light but can get "sunburned" in harsh, direct afternoon sun. A spot with filtered sunlight is ideal

• Warmth: They prefer temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Keep them away from cold drafts or heating vents

2. Watering & Humidity

• Keep it Moist: The soil should stay consistently moist but never soggy. If the top inch of soil feels dry, it’s time to water.

• Drainage is Key: Ensure the pot has drainage holes. Calla lilies are prone to root rot if they sit in standing water.

  
  

3. Soil & Fertilizer

• Rich Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.

• Feed During Growth: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage blooming.

4. After-Bloom Care (Dormancy)

• Don't Panic: Once the flowers fade, the leaves will yellow and die back. This is a natural dormant phase.

• Rest Period: Reduce watering and let the plant rest in a cool, dark place for 2–3 months before starting the cycle again in the spring

Pro Tip: If your Calla lily is drooping, it's usually a sign that it's thirsty or the temperature is too high!
