Care Guide
Cultivation
Grow in loam-based potting compost in full light. When in growth, water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks. Calla lilies need a period of dormancy over winter, with little or no water. Once the leaves die down after flowering, move them to a dry, frost-free, preferably dark location until spring. See zantedeschia cultivation
Pruning
Remove the flowers as they start to fade, pulling the entire stem out at the base
