Calla Lily Tips & Tricks
Snip a few flowers for bouquets or other cut arrangements while in bloom. Doing so will not hurt your plants and having graceful, long-lasting blooms to bring indoors is one of the best reasons to grow Callas.
Expect roots and top sprouts to form in the fall in warmer regions, with flowers emerging in the spring and summer.
Amend poorly draining soil with organic material to raise the level 2–3″ and improve drainage as Callas will not thrive in waterlogged soil. Compost, finely ground bark, or composted manure all work a charm and are widely available.
Examine your tubers and discern where the growing points, or “eyes,” are located. They should be planted with the eyes facing upwards.
