calla lily

This particular variety of Calla lily (Zantedeschia 'Flame') requires a moist but well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. During the season of active growth, water the plant thoroughly and regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering. As the leaves start to yellow and die off in the late summer and early fall, reduce watering to once every 2 weeks. Stop watering completely during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Calla lilies (Zantedeschia 'Flame') require 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. They will also benefit from indirect light the remaining day, making full sun for 8-10 hours in a sunny climate ideal. In shadier climates, dappled indirect light for 8-10 hours a day is also beneficial. Direct sunlight should be avoided at the height of summer, as the mid-day sun can be too harsh and burn the delicate flowers. When grown indoors, place the plant near a bright, sunny window, rotating it occasionally so the whole plant receives light.

Calla lilies (Zantedeschia 'Flame') require minimal pruning. After blooming has ended, the spent flower stems can be snipped off to encourage the development of new flower buds. In addition, any foliage that has yellowed or withered can also be removed. Pruning shouldn't be done too often, as this will prevent the plant from forming flower buds. Occasional pruning of any diseased foliage should take place throughout the growing season.
