How to grow calla lilies
The calla lily is a relatively easy plant to care for, but it needs attention to a few details if it is to develop fully and have an extended lifespan.
- Lighting: The milkflower appreciates bright, indirect light. Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight, especially in hot weather, as this can burn its leaves. Indoors, place the plant near a window where it receives filtered light.
- Temperature: this plant prefers warm and moderately humid environments. The ideal temperature for the calla lily is between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid places with cold drafts, such as near open doors and windows in winter.
- Water: the calla lily likes moist, but not soggy, soil. Water it regularly, keeping the soil moist but not overwatering. During the winter, reduce the frequency of watering, as the plant enters a period of dormancy.
- Fertilizing: during the growing season (spring and summer), provide balanced liquid fertilizer every 15 days to stimulate the healthy development of the plant. In autumn and winter, stop fertilizing.
- Pruning: remove dry leaves and wilted flowers to keep the plant healthy and stimulate flowering. It is not necessary to prune drastically, but removing damaged parts helps prevent disease.
