If your calla lily has outgrown its pot or the soil is starting to look degraded, it’s time for a repot. Calla lilies prefer to be a little pot bound, so don’t go up more than one pot size. Gently remove the plant from its current pot and inspect the roots. If they’re crowded or circling the root ball, use a sharp knife to trim them back a bit. Choose a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. Fill the bottom of the pot with mix, set the plant in place, and fill in around the roots with more mix. Water thoroughly.<\/p>\n

As one of the most versatile flowers around, callas can be used in a wide variety of settings – from bedding plants to upscale patio containers to specialty cut flowers. While most growers are aware of this, few know that some cultivars fit especially well into certain programs. For example, the ‘Mini Martha’ calla is perfect for bedding plants due to its small size and compact growth habit, while the ‘Creme de la Creme’ calla is ideal for patio containers thanks to its large, showy flowers. No matter what your needs, there’s a calla cultivar out there that can fit the bill.<\/p>\n

Calla lilies are beautiful flowers that require loose, well-draining, and consistently moist soil to thrive. The soil should be enriched with compost or aged manure, and the pH should be slightly acidic, in the range of 56 to 65. Calla lilies prefer a full sun location in regions with temperate summers, and partial, dappled, or afternoon shade in areas with hot summers.<\/p>\n

Calla lilies are beautiful flowers that can add a touch of elegance to any garden. They are relatively easy to care for and are winter hardy in zones 8-10. In cooler areas, they can either be grown as annuals or can be dug up in the fall and stored indoors for replanting the next spring. Calla lilies prefer full sun or partial shade in warm climates, but can also tolerate full sun in cooler areas.<\/p>\n

What kind of pots do calla lilies like? <\/h2>\n

Pots for calla lilies should be at least 10 to 12 inches (25-31 cm) in diameter and well-draining. This is because calla lilies need consistently moist soil, but improper drainage can cause rots and fungal diseases. The planting medium should also retain moisture but not stay too soggy.<\/p>\n

Calla lilies are a beautiful addition to any garden, and they are relatively easy to care for. However, if the leaves on the plant have very dark tips, it may be an indication that the plant is getting too much fertilizer. In this case, cut back on the fertilizer and add coffee grounds between fertilizing rounds around the base of the plants to encourage growth. Calla lilies like acidic soil and coffee grounds add acidity.<\/p>\n

Do calla lilies do better in pots or in the ground <\/h3>\n
