Calla lily care?

We have a calla lily in a pot indoors but the leaves and staems are drooping. We%26#039;ve only had it about a week, so I wouldn%26#039;t expect it to die yet. Any one know whether it%26#039;s meant to be kept in sunlight or shade, cut back or left to grow or what? Help please!!

Calla lily care?
I keep mine by the window. They get full sunlight all morning. They like water, just don%26#039;t drown them. I have never had a need to cut them back.


After the calla lily blooms, it will go into remission. The leaves and stems will droop and turn brown. Let it. When it%26#039;s full %26quot;dead%26quot; looking, cut off any remaining leaves and store the whole pot in a dark place for about 6-8 months.


When the lily is ready, it will start to grow. When this happens, bring it out into the sun and let it grow!
Reply:The proper name is Zantedeschia aethiopica and there are different varieties with various colours of flowers. If it%26#039;s the white one, it needs to be outside away from artificial heating as it is quite hardy. You can plant as a marginal by a pond or anywhere else if you don%26#039;t have a pond. It is very easy and will tolerate most conditions except being dry. Mine is just stuck in bottom of the garden in poor but pretty moist soil and does really well. Give it a shovelful of manure or rich compost every couple of years or, if it%26#039;s in the pond don%26#039;t bother. Hope that helps.
Reply:Calla lilies are really meant to be outdoor plants. They can take some sun, but like afternoon shade. They like moist, almost boggy soil. Needs year round moisture!!





If you don%26#039;t get snow, you can plant it outside. Otherwise, keep it in a pot and bring inside in the winter. If planted outside, it will multiply by both rhizomes and seeds.





Good Luck!!
