Valuable Tips for Growing Amazing Calla Lilies

You've probably seen flowers like calla lilies. These are very beautiful flowers of snow-white color. Their beauty really attracts attention. An interesting fact is that calla lilies begin to bloom in winter. But there are gardeners who begin to plant these flowers in the open ground so that by the beginning of summer they can already dissolve their snow-white "sails".

You can plant plants in a flowerbed already in April. Be sure to make sure that the ground is already warm enough (preferably end of April). Flowers should be covered with foil until the threat of frost return subsides. After planting the plant, sprinkle it with plenty of water. The next time you can water the garden bed only after one and a half to two weeks. Not earlier. When the plant fully adapts (you will understand this by the new green leaves), you should do top dressing. You should feed with a weak solution of nitrate or choose a combined mineral fertilizer. Top dressing should be done only once a season, otherwise the increased top dressing can lead to the death of the flower. Regular watering should be done as needed. Approximately 3-4 weeks after planting the flower, the adult calla starts flowering. Of course, if the weather conditions are favorable for this. Usually, a biennial plant begins to take away, which releases a flower arrow with a wide asymmetric bell of white, yellow or red). It should not be surprising that a calla lily flower is not a cover at all, but a narrow ear - the core. The flower itself is very beautiful and elegant. with its beauty, the flower will delight you for about two weeks.

The flower then changes its snow-white appearance to off-white. You can even cut it off at this time, but be very careful. Try not to damage the new bud, which may appear in place of the one that has already finished flowering and dried out. If you have an adult plant, then it can produce two or sometimes three flowers in a row. But at the same time, the tallest will be the one that appeared first, all the rest are rather short. After the last flower has finished flowering, the calla begins its period of rest. At this time, we advise you to reduce the amount of watering. Many experienced gardeners leave only 3-4 leaves, and the remaining ones are carefully cut off. This will be quite enough for calla lilies to continue to fully develop, because then it will spend less of its energy and consume more nutrients. Calla lilies grow outdoors until mid-October. Calla lilies can grow longer if you live in warm regions. After that, it is worth starting to transplant the plant. To do this, you need to plant the largest tubers individually in large pots. Calla lilies do not like crampedness, if they have little space, then they begin to hurt.

It will be interesting for you to know the fact that in addition to its beauty, calla can predict what the weather will be like.

For example, before the rain, you may notice water droplets on the tips of the leaves. If you also want to see this remarkably beautiful and useful plant in your home, then try to plant it and you will definitely not regret it.
