Growing guide for Calla Lily Purple Bulbs
Planting instructions
Prepare a well-draining soil mix for your Calla Lily Flower Bulbs, ensuring it is rich in organic matter. Plant the bulbs in the ground or in containers, burying them 4 to 5 inches deep and spacing them about 12 inches apart. For container planting, choose a pot with a diameter of at least 12 inches to allow ample space for root development.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Calla Lilies are generally resilient, but keeping an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites is advisable. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases, and avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
soil
These lilies thrive in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 6.0-6.5. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost, to enhance soil fertility and structure.
spot
Choose a location with partial to full sunlight, ensuring they receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. A spot with dappled sunlight is ideal for areas with intense heat.
temperature
Calla Lilies prefer temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler nights. Protect them from frost, as they are sensitive to cold temperatures.
watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, provide more water, and reduce watering when the plants go dormant.
how to harvest
Gently cut the blooms when they are fully open, and the spadix is prominent. Harvesting in the morning is recommended for the freshest flowers. Arrange them in vases with clean water, and your Calla Lily flowers will add a touch of sophistication to your indoor spaces.
