The Calla can only develop properly in a favorable location. As a plant native to the swampy regions of South Africa, it needs a lot of light. Very few varieties are hardy, so you have to find another location in winter.
The Calla feels most comfortable in the sun
The right location should meet these conditions
- Bright
- Without direct midday sun
- Warm
- sheltered from the wind
- Frost free
Calla likes it bright and tolerates sun well. The only thing you don't get is direct sunlight around noon. Provide shade.
In summer you can cultivate the calla in a pot on the terrace or balcony. But make sure that the location is not too airy.
During the flowering period, the indoor calla needs a lot of moisture, the soil must never dry out. During the hibernation, however, the soil must be kept completely dry.
tips and tricks
If your calla lily isn't blooming, it may be in the wrong location. However, incorrect care is often to blame if the houseplant does not flower.
