watering
To ensure optimal health and growth, water Calla Lily (Zantedeschia 'Mango') regularly and consistently. Plants should be watered every 7-10 days or when the soil feels dry to the touch. To avoid overwatering, avoid leaving standing water in the pot. Water the plant until water runs out of the drainage holes, then discard the excess. To help retain moisture, mulch the soil surface.
sunlight
Calla Lilies (Zantedeschia 'Mango') require a good amount of sunlight to thrive, but not too much or too little. They prefer bright, indirect sunlight for the majority of the day—approximately 4 to 6 hours. For best results, place the Calla Lily near a south- or east-facing window, which will allow it to receive bright, indirect light throughout the day.
pruning
Calla Lilies should be pruned in the early spring or summer when the leaves start appearing again. Dead leaves should be removed, along with any old flower stems. Pruning encourages the plant to put out more leaves and flowers. Make sure to use clean, sharp pruning shears so you don't damage the plant. Cut the stems back to within 2 inches of the ground or to the desired length. Pruning can also help reduce the likelihood of disease and pests, and it can help keep the plant looking tidy. If the rhizomes have become crowded, you can divide them and separate them into different pots or containers.
