When to plant calla lilies
Let's take a look at the planting content of green plants and flowers about when to plant calla lilies and the planting methods and timing of calla lilies!
Calla lilies have large tubers underground, similar to the yam we eat. They are usually planted from autumn, gradually forming flower buds and blooming by the New Year. The flowering period is very long. When planting calla lily bulbs, it is important to remember to cover them with a layer of soil, at least 5 centimeters thick. If it's too thin, the seedlings will grow weak.
For calla lilies that have been planted, they will first grow roots. After the root system has gradually grown well, they will directly sprout. As soon as they sprout, we need to supplement fertilizer in time. Since it is a tuberous plant and will bloom after the leaves grow for a while, we plant it to admire its flowers. Therefore, it is important to supplement fertilizer after the leaves appear, choosing a fertilizer with a high content of phosphorus and potassium and no lack of other elements, such as "Flower More No. 2." Apply it 2 to 3 times a month to provide sufficient nutrients. As the roots continue to grow, the buds will also keep sprouting. After growing a few leaves, flower buds will continuously appear, and the blooming will be very beautiful.
When caring for calla lilies at home, as soon as they sprout, they should be exposed to sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, it is easy for the leaves to become elongated, with long stems, thin and large leaves, and lighter color. This will affect the beauty of the later flowers. Therefore, it is essential to place calla lilies in a well-lit area, with a temperature of about 10 degrees to grow quickly, preferably around 15 degrees. How should we water it? Generally, when the potting soil is dry to a depth of about 5 to 6 centimeters, or almost half, we can water it directly. If unsure, insert a bamboo skewer halfway into the potting soil and water when the skewer is dry.
If the indoor lighting conditions are really poor, we can use a dwarfing agent every two weeks to achieve a dwarfing effect and make it bloom earlier. For these root plants with tubers, their care is very simple. Just prepare well-ventilated soil, ensure proper watering frequency, supplement high-phosphorus and high-potassium fertilizer regularly, and place it under sunlight. It will directly grow leaves, and after a while, flower buds will appear and bloom. Moreover, calla lilies have a very long flowering period and are suitable for indoor cultivation. Those who like them can quickly get one and learn how to care for it.
I hope everyone will enjoy the detailed introduction about when to plant calla lilies and the planting methods and timing of calla lilies mentioned above!
