Pink Calla – A Classic Flower

Calla, or calla lily as it's also known, is one of the most elegant and sophisticated flowers you can choose. The pink variety of Zantedeschia aethiopica is particularly beautiful and brings a soft, romantic feel to any bouquet. Pink calla is a flower that never goes out of fashion and directly signals good taste and thoughtfulness. This beautiful flower is characterised by its distinctive trumpet-shaped bloom with an elegant structure that makes it perfect for both minimalist and full arrangements.

Elegance as Standard

One of the best qualities of pink calla is its clean, unscented look. Calla has no noticeable scent, so it suits those who prefer flowers without fragrance. Pink calla is available all year round, making it a perfect choice no matter what season you wish to give it. With a vase life of approximately 7 days, you can enjoy this beautiful flower for a whole week, making pink calla a long-lasting and valuable gift.

Care and Environment

Pink calla is surprisingly easy to care for and thrives best in a spot with partial shade indoors or outdoors. The flower is not particularly demanding when it comes to watering – in fact, it prefers to stay on the dry side rather than be overwatered. Pink calla needs plenty of water to bloom beautifully, so keep the vase topped up with fresh water. At approximately 60 centimetres in height, pink calla is perfect for fitting into most vases and arrangements.

Pink Calla as a Gift

Pink calla works fantastically well as a gift, especially for birthdays. It is elegant, understated and at the same time luxurious – just right for impressing without having to do too much. However, it's worth noting that calla is toxic to pets, so make sure it's placed somewhere safe if you have cats or dogs at home. Pink calla is simply a flower that shows you care – a classic, beautiful gift that says much about the sender.

FAQ about Calla Lily – Pink

What kind of soil suits calla lilies best?
Calla lilies thrive in moist, fertile soil rich in humus. The soil can be slightly acid to neutral, with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Zantedeschia aethiopica, also known as the arum lily, likes wet conditions and can even grow at the edge of a pond.
How often should calla lilies be watered?
During the growing season calla lilies need regular, generous watering, especially when they flower. Keep the soil evenly moist and water deeply two or three times a week. Water less when the plant goes dormant.
How long do cut calla lilies last?
Cut calla lilies last about one to two weeks in the vase. Use only a few centimetres of water, as the fleshy stems soften in deep water, and recut the stems every few days.
Which pests and diseases can affect calla lilies?
Aphids, red spider mite and thrips can attack, especially indoors. Root rot is the most common problem and is usually caused by poor drainage in winter. Check under the leaves and around the base regularly.
How do calla lilies overwinter?
Calla lilies tolerate only light frost. In mild gardens they can stay in the ground under a thick mulch. In cold, exposed gardens, lift the rhizomes in autumn or grow the plant in a pot that is moved to a cool, frost-free place for winter.
