Calla Lily Care

Most Calla Lilies are easy to care for and can thrive both indoors and outdoors with the right conditions.

Light

Calla Lilies prefer full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plants from scorching.

Water

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during the growing season. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Temperature & Humidity

Calla Lilies thrive in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). They are not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors or protected during cold weather. Moderate humidity is ideal.

Soil

Calla Lilies require well-draining, rich soil. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand is ideal. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral, with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5.

Fertilizer

Fertilize Calla Lilies every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.

Encouraging Calla Lilies to Bloom

To encourage more blooms, deadhead spent flowers regularly and ensure the plants receive adequate sunlight and water. Providing a balanced fertilizer during the growing season also promotes flowering.

Repotting

Repot Calla Lilies every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Use a slightly larger container with good drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining soil mix.

Propagating Calla Lilies

Propagate Calla Lilies by dividing rhizomes in late summer or early autumn. Use a sharp, sterile knife to cut the rhizomes into sections, each with at least one growing point. Plant the divisions in pots with a well-draining soil mix and water thoroughly.
