Can you repot calla lilies?

Space and Astronomy

To repot calla lilies, carefully lift the flowers out of their smaller pot and gently place them into the larger one, taking care not to damage the delicate roots. Fill the new pot with soil up to about an inch from the pot’s rim. Keep the soil moist consistently for a few days after repotting.

When should I repot my calla lily?

The best time to transplant calla lilies (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is in the spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is beginning to warm. Choose a location with organically rich soil that holds moisture well. Callas grow well in low, moist areas where most other rhizomes would suffer from root rot.

How long do potted calla lilies last?

approximately four months

Potted Calla Lilies can last for approximately four months in an active state of growth. This includes a period of foliage growth in the first six weeks, followed by six to eight weeks of blooming. After blooming the foliage will begin to yellow and fade, until the plant becomes dormant.

Can you transplant calla lilies while blooming?

You can technically transplant your calla lily during the summer months. However, this is usually the time these plants bloom. People typically wait until after a plant is done blooming before moving them. It is still possible to move plants during this time, though.

Do calla lilies do well in pots?

Pots for calla lilies should be at least 10 to 12 inches (25-31 cm.) in diameter and well-draining. While calla lilies need consistently moist soil, improper drainage can cause rots and fungal diseases. The planting medium should also retain moisture but not stay too soggy.

What do you do with potted calla lilies after they bloom?

Once the calla lily plant has stopped blooming, stop providing water to it. Allow it to go bone dry. The foliage will die back and the plant will appear to be dead. Place it in a cool (not cold) dark place for two months.

Do calla lilies need full sun?

Shade and Sun: In warm climates, calla lilies grow well in full sun or partial shade. In cooler areas they grow best in full sun. Zone: Calla lilies are winter hardy in zones 8-10. In colder areas they can either be grown as annuals or can be dug up in the fall and stored indoors for replanting the next spring.

Do calla lilies bloom more than once?

Many people treat their gift calla lilies as annuals. They receive a potted flower, or buy them for spring decorating, and then toss it when the blooms are done. In truth, though, calla lilies are perennials and you can actually save your potted plant and watch it bloom again next year.

Can calla lilies grow indoors?

Although an outdoor plant by nature, the Calla Lily will perform wonderfully as an indoor plant. Keeping this rhizome happy indoors is a matter of paying attention to some very basic growing conditions. The Zantedeschia aethiopica is native to southern Africa.

Will calla lilies multiply?

Being a bulb, calla lilies spread by multiplying and creating other bulbs. These calla lily bulbs can be dug up and replanted in different locations. While these plants spread, they do so in a manner which is quite easy to control.

Can potted calla lilies be planted outside?

Calla lilies can be grown outdoors in containers during the summer and then brought indoors before the first frost in colder climates. They can also be grown indoors all year round in sunny locations that are kept at least 55 degrees F (13 degrees C.).



Should I deadhead my calla lilies?

Calla lilies don’t require regular pruning, but you should deadhead the flowers as they wilt. Removing parts of the plant should not kill it.
