FAQ about Calla Lily – Red

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.
