Light Calla lilySole pieno
We suggest growing the the Calla lily in the garden; these are very rustic plants. If necessary we can extract the bulbs from the ground, during the vegetative rest; after letting them dry we should place them in a cool, dry and dark place. During the most indicated season we can plant them again.We suggest to position the the Calla lily in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.

Cultivation Calla lily
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. The Calla lily is large in size and 1 m in height; in the summer it assumes a white colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form.

Fertilize Calla lily
Bulbous plants use nutritious substances stored from the previous year for their flowering ; this is why usually the soil should be enriched, during planting, with a slow release or organic fertilizer. Later we must fertilize with a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants, every 15-20 days, starting from the moment in which the first flowers are withering.

Water Calla lilyTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 1-2 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 1-2 weeks . These plants don't need too much water; staying in a soil which is too damp, can easily cause the development of rotten in the bulbs.

Pests Calla lily
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Calla lily
Locate in a deep and dissolved soil, with an accentuated drainage.
