Calla Lily Propagation Methods

The editor will talk about the related knowledge of Calla Lily propagation, the methods of Calla Lily propagation, and the editor will introduce them next.

The most common method of propagating Calla Lilies is by dividing the rhizomes, and sowing is also one of the methods, as seeds can only be collected in suitable climatic conditions. Generally, there are few mature fruits, so the sowing method is rarely used by flower enthusiasts.

Calla Lily Rhizome Division Propagation:

After the Calla Lily plant enters the dormant period, the small bulbs around the rhizome are peeled off (usually after the flowering period), and then planted separately. There are no special precautions, but the dormant period of Calla Lilies varies by region. In the Yangtze River Valley and the north of China, it is advisable to move them into a greenhouse in winter, bloom in spring and summer, and enter dormancy due to high temperatures and dryness in summer. In subtropical regions where winters are not cold and summers are not dry and hot, they do not enter dormancy throughout the year.

Through experiments, the author found that the root tillering division method can bloom in the same year. The specific method is: from late June to early August, during pot changing, the well-developed large tillers with roots are separated by hand (it is best not to use a knife) and planted in prepared pots. If used for cut flowers, 2-3 tillers can be planted more, and after planting, they should be placed in a shady place. Using this method of propagation, flowers can bloom in September to October of the same year.

Calla Lily Seed Propagation:

If lucky enough to collect seeds or purchase seeds, they can be sown in pots. The germination temperature of Calla Lily seeds is about 20℃.

Note: The success rate of Calla Lily propagation by rhizome division is higher, while the success rate of sowing is relatively lower due to issues such as seed quality.

The above () provides a detailed introduction to the Calla Lily propagation methods, hoping that everyone will like it!
