How to care for Calla lilies
Let's talk about how to care for Calla lilies and share some small experiences in plant cultivation, including Calla lily cultivation methods and techniques. Next, the site editor will introduce to the netizens.
Calla lilies have large tubers growing underground, similar to the yam we eat. They are usually planted from autumn and gradually develop flower buds to bloom by the New Year. The blooming period is very long. When planting Calla lily bulbs, remember to cover them with a layer of soil, at least 5 centimeters thick. If it's too thin, the sprouts will be weak.
For Calla lilies that have been planted, they will first grow roots. Once the root system is well-developed, they will directly sprout. As soon as they sprout, we need to supplement fertilizer in a timely manner. Since it is a tuberous plant and the leaves will bloom after a period of growth, we are cultivating it for its flowers. Therefore, we should supplement fertilizer in time after the leaves appear, choosing fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content and no lack of other elements, such as "Flower More 2." Apply it 2 to 3 times a month to ensure sufficient nutrient supply. The rhizome will continue to grow, and the sprouts will also keep emerging. After a few leaves have grown, flower buds will continuously appear, and the blooming flowers will be very beautiful.
When caring for Calla lilies at home, as soon as they sprout, give them sufficient sunlight. If there is not enough sunlight, it is easy for the leaves to become elongated, with long, thin, and large leaves, and the color will be much lighter, which will affect the appearance of the flowers later. Therefore, Calla lilies must be placed in a well-lit area, with the temperature maintained at around 10 degrees to grow rapidly, preferably around 15 degrees. How should we water them? Generally, when the potting soil is dry to a depth of about 5 to 6 centimeters, or almost half the way down, we can directly water it. If you're not sure, insert a bamboo skewer halfway into the potting soil. When the skewer is dry, water it directly.
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 tuberous plants, it is very simple to care for. Just ensure well-drained soil, maintain proper watering frequency, regularly supplement fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium content, and place it under sunlight. It will be able to grow leaves directly, and after a while, it will produce flower buds and bloom. Moreover, the blooming period of Calla lilies is very long, making them suitable for indoor cultivation. Those who like them can quickly get one and learn how to care for it.
