How to Revive the Flowers of a Calla Lily
Today's tip for life involves how to revive the flowers of a calla lily and the key points for the maintenance of fresh-cut calla lilies, along with an introduction to green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together.
Now is the time when calla lilies begin to grow normally again. Ensure there are enough nutrients in the potting soil, let it briefly receive scattered sunlight, regularly prune, water thoroughly while keeping the soil moist, to encourage new buds and flower buds to develop faster.
Among the various plants we care for at home, many go dormant in the summer, including the calla lily.
This flower is very beautiful, and many plant enthusiasts also care for one at home. If the leaves of the calla lily start to turn yellow for no apparent reason and new leaves do not grow during the summer, it means it is in a dormant period.
At this time, if we want it to sprout again and bloom, we need some more skillful maintenance methods. Let me explain a bit about it today.
I. Soil
Many people do not change the potting soil for their calla lilies often, which is actually not correct. Because calla lilies consume a lot of nutrients during flowering, and by the time they go dormant in the summer, their own nutrients are almost depleted.
So, when they wake up in the fall, just like a person waking up and needing to eat and drink, without enough nutrients, their blooming and growth later on will also be affected.
Therefore, it is recommended to change the potting soil if possible during this period. If you can't change the pot, you can replace some of the soil in the pot.
Find some fertile humus soil or soil with organic fertilizers, dig small holes around the edge of the pot, remove some of the soil, and bury the prepared fertile soil, but be careful not to damage the roots.

II. Light
Many people think that since the autumn sun is not so hot, they can directly expose their calla lilies to direct sunlight, but this idea is wrong.
Because calla lilies are not plants that thrive in full sun, even if the sun becomes milder, we should not let them be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.
If you want them to bloom, you should place them in a location with scattered light. After October, you should place them in a slightly sunny area inside the house, such as three to five meters away from the window. When sunlight comes in, you can let them briefly receive some scattered sunlight.
III. Pruning
Due to dormancy in the summer, many leaves have become dry and yellow. If you want it to produce new shoots during this period, you should cut off the old and withered ones.
And if you see any thin or diseased branches, you should cut them off promptly to avoid wasting space and nutrients, which will allow more new buds to emerge.
