Indoor Calla Lily Care
The elegant Calla Lily, recognized by its distinctive trumpet blooms and vibrant leaves, makes a magnificent centerpiece for any indoor garden. Their allure isn't just in their beauty, but also in their longevity and ease of care. Learn how to best nurture this indoor gem.
Light & Location: Find the perfect spot for your Calla Lily away from harsh direct sunlight. Instead, aim for a location with diffused light, like a window with sheer curtains. Given their love for moisture, placing a humidifier close by or misting them occasionally can keep them happy.
Watering Needs: Strive for a balance in moisture; the soil should be kept damp, but not waterlogged. A good rule of thumb is to water your Calla Lily once or twice a week, depending on the environment. Ensuring your pot has adequate drainage can mitigate risks like root rot.
Bloom & Dormancy: Calla Lilies have a bloom window of about 3-8 weeks. Post this splendid display, it's natural for the leaves to adopt a yellow hue, signaling its dormancy phase. This is the plant's rest period, and watering should be minimized. Pruning yellowing leaves is recommended during this phase.
Outdoor Transition: If you have a green thumb for outdoor gardening, you might contemplate relocating your Calla Lily to the great outdoors. In USDA zones 8-10, this plant thrives as a perennial. But, if you're located in zone 7 or below, choose a sheltered spot for better survivability chances, such as close to buildings.
