Calla lilies planting and care in the open field in the Urals

In recent years, garden calla lilies have become increasingly common in gardens. They are receiving attention from more and more gardeners due to the fact that they have not only an attractive appearance, but also a rather long flowering. However, for this they should create favorable conditions. In principle, this plant is quite unpretentious, however, nevertheless, in the process of growing and caring for it, there are its own characteristics that every florist should be aware of if he wants calla lilies to delight him every season with their bright buds.

Garden calla lilies

It is a mistake to consider calla lilies as an exclusively indoor plant. This opinion is refuted by garden species, which can grow well in the open field, if they are provided with optimal conditions.

And it is quite possible to implement this idea, even though the birthplace of this representatives of the aroid family are the tropics of South Africa... An interesting fact is that in natural conditions, calla lilies bloom exclusively in warm winters. In our climate, these plants will feel good in gardens at any time of the year, fully demonstrating their decorative properties in spring and summer.

If you are familiar with the rules for growing dahlias, then surely you will not have big problems with calla lilies. Although dahlias for domestic flower growers seem to be one of the traditional plants, calla lilies, which are also known as calla lilies, are rare in the plots. How to properly prepare for planting these flowers?

The choice of material for planting

First of all, you need to understand what kind of calla lilies you would like to get on your site. It will not be so difficult to resolve this issue, given that today in stores these flowers are presented in a wide variety, and therefore you will surely find among them the variety you like the most. If we turn to the practice of growing calla lilies in our country, then most often gardeners choose the following types:

• Calla rehmannii;
• Calla Ethiopian (Calla aethiopica).

Among the garden varieties, the most popular are varieties derived from Ethiopian calla lilies. However, it should be borne in mind that this plant is exotic, so it will not be so easy to grow it in our latitudes... But with proper care, you can get from the seeds fairly large plants up to 1 meter high, decorated with large flowers.

Selection rules

In order to save yourself from unnecessary difficulties in the process of growing and caring for calla lilies, you need to competently approach the choice of a suitable planting material. You can determine the quality tubers of calla lilies by their size: they should not only be large enough, but also not have signs of wrinkling or lethargy.

To be sure that these flowers do not die in the first year, it is recommended to use tubers grown in our climate... Therefore, it is advisable to find “local” calla lilies as planting material. If you try to grow these flowers from the imported plants, then even if they take root, their flowering is unlikely to meet your expectations.And, most likely, the first flowers in such plants will appear much later than usual.

How and where to plant flowers?

Most preferred for growing garden calla lilies are warm, sunny areas, where favorable conditions will be created for flowers. It is undesirable to place plants in conditions of partial shade, places where they get the maximum amount of sunlight are best suited for these plants... But if scorching rays fall on the flowers at the chosen place throughout the day, then it is advisable to create a shadow for them in order to avoid burning the leaves. You also need to take care of protection from the winds, since drafts can also harm calla lilies.

It is necessary to pay attention to the composition of the soil: it should be distinguished by high fertility and have a slightly acidic reaction. But when applying organic fertilizers, you need to observe the measure, since an excess of them will lead to a completely opposite effect. First of all, this concerns nitrogen, an excessive amount of which can greatly affect flowering. In the absence of other suitable places, calla lilies can be grown on clay soil: before planting, peat and sand, taken in equal quantities, must be added to it.

Usually, garden calla lilies are planted in the spring.... Already in the first days of May, a fairly comfortable weather sets in, in which the bulbs can quickly take root and begin to grow.

However, you need to be careful with the timing, since the last frost can harm young plants. For planting, pits are prepared with a depth of 5-10 cm. From this moment they begin to take care of the flowers. And the first operation that will have to be done will be watering.

Landing features

When planting the tubers of garden calla lilies, it is important to maintain the optimum depth, which should be about 10 cm. Plants are recommended to be placed no closer than 30-40 cm from each other... When planting flowers, do not manipulate the soil, compacting it or pressing the bulbs themselves into the soil. You just need to place them in the prepared holes, and cover them with a layer of soil on top.

Also, many growers practice the method of growing calla lilies through germination. This will require a temporary pot in which the tubers are planted, after which they are looked after until the moment when they can be transplanted to a permanent place. In some years, with this method of growing the bulbs, calla lilies often begin to bloom even before the onset of a favorable moment for transplanting into the garden.

Transplanting tubers into pots is carried out at the end of March.however, it is important to select a suitable container size. As a soil mixture, use ready-made seedling soil, which can be found in flower shops. Caring for potted bulbs does not differ from the traditional method of growing flowers:

• for this you need to keep the soil moist by watering it 2-3 times a week;
• even before there is a favorable moment for transplanting flowers into open ground, it is necessary to harden the tubers in 7-8 days;
• directly on the day itself, on which the transplant of calla bulbs is scheduled, you need to very carefully remove the plants from the pot, trying to keep the root system intact.

How to care for planted flowers?

It is important to remember that calla lilies are a tropical plant and therefore need special care. If you take good care of garden calla lilies, then usually they begin to bloom within 1.5-2 months from the moment of their transplant. Moreover, this phase lasts until the onset of autumn.

Proper care of garden calla lilies is directly related to their physiological feature: at the first time of life, calla lilies spend energy on the formation of the root system, and only then they begin to germinate. therefore it is very important to prevent incorrect root formation... To do this, the freshly planted tubers must be kept dry for the first two weeks.A hint that it is time to start watering will be the formation of the first shoots. This usually only happens after 2–3.5 weeks. Calla lilies should be watered very carefully, trying to avoid moisture getting on the tubers. The easiest way to meet this condition is to water the soil around the edges.

Frequent watering is possible only at the stage when leaves will form in the tubers. But here, as before, watering should be moderate. It is usually enough to water the calla lilies 1-2 times a week, however, depending on the current weather, the number of waterings may vary.

The main activities that include the care of calla lilies:

• watering;
• top dressing;
• weeding;
• loosening the soil.

For the first time, fertilizers are applied to the soil at the stage of planting flowers. At this point, you can use complex mineral fertilizers that are applied to the soil in accordance with the scheme - 30–40 gr. for 1 sq. m... This amount of fertilizer will be enough for the plants so that they do not lack nutrients during the summer season. It should be borne in mind that for calla lilies the most suitable type is a slightly acidic soil, therefore, at least two to three times per season, it is necessary to irrigate with citric or acetic acid, which is added in the amount of one tablespoon per bucket of water.

Calla lilies belong to the group of those plants that do not cause trouble even during measures to protect against diseases and pests. The fact is that they are resistant to any external manifestation of this kind. Sometimes calla lilies can be of interest to whiteflies, however, they do not cause serious harm to flowers.

How to store dug out calla lilies tubers?

Planting and caring for flowers involves a variety of activities throughout the season. In the fall, it is necessary to prepare the bulbs for wintering. Usually they start doing this in September. Tubers need to be dug out before the onset of the first cold weather... When digging out the tubers, you need to be very careful not to damage the root system. Further, they need to be cleaned of the earth and washed. All these operations must be carried out with special care, since the delicate roots are very easy to damage. Usually at this time of the year there are still leaves on the tubers that can be left.

After that, the tubers of garden feces are placed in storage in a special room, where they are kept for two weeks. They must be stored at temperatures from + 5 to + 15 degrees.... This time is enough for the leaves to transfer the accumulated nutrients to the tubers.

Conclusion

Although many growers have heard about garden calla lilies, not everyone has a desire to grow them on their site. The lack of determination can be explained by the capricious nature of these flowers, whose homeland is the tropics of Africa. Therefore, not every gardener can be sure of a positive outcome of this event. But this is not a big problem, because local calla lilies can be used to grow these flowers in our latitudes. In addition, this process can be accelerated if you start germinating them in pots in early spring.

When the last wave of frost passes in May, you can plant them in a permanent place without fear that their root system can be damaged by the cold. It is also easy to care for these flowers, because they require standard measures. But even here they will not cause much trouble to the grower, because he does not even have to fight pests and diseases to which garden callas are very resistant.

In our latitudes, two varieties of calla lilies perfectly coexist: tuberous and rhizomatous. If you follow the simple rules of growing calla lilies, planting and caring for it in the open field will lead to the appearance of beautiful flowers. An exotic plant will delight you for at least a month - this is how much calla lilies bloom.

Before planting calla lilies in open ground, preparation for which begins in February-March, calla tubers should be stored in the refrigerator.To keep them in good condition, wrap the tubers in plain paper and place them in a plastic bag. Punch a few holes in the bag to prevent stagnant air.

Check the tubers ready for planting for decay. If they do appear, the surface of the tuber must be cleaned with a knife until healthy tissue appears. To firm up the tubers again, hold them in a damp cloth.

To protect calla lilies from fungal infections, you can treat the tubers with a fungicide (for example, Vitaros or Fundazol) right before planting.

It is advisable to plant calla lilies not immediately in open ground, but in pots with a prepared soil mixture - this way they will survive planting less painfully. The soil should consist of a mixture of compost or humus with peat, garden soil and sand. Planting depth is about 2 cm from the surface of the tuber.

Calla tolerates temperature extremes, so in the spring the pots can be placed directly on the windowsill. Remember to water the tubers after planting, but it is advisable to do this carefully so as not to wash out the top layer of the soil. For the successful development of the plant, it is desirable to fertilize with mineral fertilizers once every 2 weeks.

If you notice that the roots of the calla lilies are starting to break through to the surface, add another 2 to 3 centimeters of soil into the pot.

When to plant calla lilies outdoors? It is best to carry out planting work in the spring, as soon as the last frosts leave and the temperature will stay above 15 degrees Celsius. Usually this is already the beginning or mid-May.

The planting site should be warm and sufficiently lit. A small partial shade is also suitable - in it, plants can develop in almost the same way as in the sun. Make sure that there are no drafts and strong winds at the landing site of the calla lilies; an area with a mild microclimate is best suited.

It is best not to plant and care for calla lilies outdoors in direct sunlight. Flowers may suffer from this, and instead of a bright flower garden, you will just get lush vegetation.

It is better to choose the soil not neutral, but slightly acidic. Top dressing is applied before the flowering period, after the flowers appear, it is better to stop fertilizing the garden.

For planting and caring for calla lilies in the open field to be successful, you need to follow some recommendations:

1. You do not need to make holes too deep in order to plant flowers. It is better to lightly sprinkle rhizomes or tubers with a layer of earth so that they do not rot.
2. Be careful not to damage the roots when you take the calla lilies out of the pot. The roots are very fragile and do not grow back after breaking off.
3. First, a root system is formed around the tuber, and only after that the calla sprouts. So if no more than a month has passed since landing, you shouldn't worry.
4. Planting calla lilies in open ground in spring and caring for it is carried out only after the temperature stops dropping below 15 degrees.
5. The best way to fertilize calla lilies is to remove the top layer of soil from the tubers and replace it with a nutritious mixture of peat, humus and a small amount of sand.

If you properly care for young calla lilies, then they will begin to bloom within 1.5 months after planting on the site. Even if you plant calla lilies in open ground in Siberia, caring for them and a well-chosen place will help you get a beautiful flower garden.

One of the advantages of calla lilies is that you do not need to purchase any additional remedies against fungi and other diseases. These plants almost never get sick, as they can cope with pests on their own.

Within 10-15 days after planting calla lilies in open ground, caring for it should consist in refusing to water. This is done in order not to allow the root system that has just begun to develop to rot. Even after the tubers get stronger, do not direct the stream of water directly at them when watering, it is enough to moisten the soil around the plant.

Fertilizing with mineral fertilizers can be carried out once a season, and this will be enough for the calla to bloom beautifully.

Caring for calla lilies from planting to the moment they change color is simple. However, as soon as autumn has arrived, the flowers need to be prepared for wintering. The tubers, along with the roots, are dug out before the first cold weather begins. This must be done especially carefully so that the root system is not damaged.

Leaving calla lilies outdoors in the Urals or Siberia for the winter is undesirable: it is highly likely that only a few plants will survive the frost. It is best to store the cleaned, washed and lightly dried tubers in a cool place at home, such as the vegetable section of the refrigerator. If, before the onset of cold weather, the calla leaves did not have time to fall off, they do not need to be torn off for about two more weeks so that the nutrients are transferred to the tubers.

1. It is better to plant calla lilies not in direct sunlight, but in partial shade.
2. Callas do not like too much watering and fertilization - feeding can be done only once a season.
3. Calla lilies bloom well in slightly acidic soil with the addition of peat and compost.
4. It is important not to damage the roots during transplanting and not to plant them too deep in the soil.
5. Garden calla does not require additional protection against diseases and all kinds of pests. You can only treat the tubers with a fungicide just before planting.

Gorgeous tropical plants have long been firmly established in flower beds and flower beds, continuing to grow in popularity. If just a few years ago they were considered exotic and were found only in a pot culture or in cut form in bouquets, today planting calla lilies in the garden has become a common procedure for many owners of summer cottages. These delicate flowers, elegantly lifting up their arrows with buds, effectively decorate the landscape, bringing a touch of tenderness and mystery into it, and delight the eye for a long time. They need minimal care, but their cultivation will still require some knowledge and experience.

Site requirements

In nature, garden calla is found in South America and Africa. The sultry and humid climate of tropical forests is natural for it. But the plant cannot be called too demanding in terms of keeping conditions. Its planting in open ground will be successful in almost all regions, one has only to take into account the natural rhythm of calla lilies. If in its natural environment the flowering period for the culture falls on the winter, then in our country it will dissolve its luxurious buds on the site in the summer.

For growing plants in the garden, it is better to choose an open, well-lit and spacious place. But it is important to remember: despite their southern origin, delicate calla lilies cannot stand the scorching heat. In the sun, their leaves wither and wither, and they may even burn and dry out. Therefore, at noon, they need shading. The best solution is to plant calla lilies next to shrubs or spreading trees, which during the day will be able to provide them with protection from the scorching sun rays, and will not block the light from them in the morning hours.

Calla lilies need nutritious soil, the quality and duration of their flowering depends on the degree of its fertility. They prefer acidic, in extreme cases, slightly acidic soil.

It is not difficult to prepare an ideal substrate for plants, it is enough to mix 4 ingredients in equal amounts:

1. land;
2. sand;
3. peat;
4. leaf humus.

A prerequisite for breeding calla lilies both in the open field and at home is to ensure good drainage. Flowers are very sensitive to waterlogging of the soil, they react to it with instant decay of the roots. It is important to consider this feature when choosing a place for a flower bed in the garden. The land on the site should dry out quickly after rains or irrigation, and the groundwater should not come close to the surface.

Disembarkation rules

Calla lilies are planted exclusively in spring, in early May, when the threat of frost becomes minimal. The procedure requires preliminary preparation of the site itself and the tubers of the plants. Before being placed in the ground, the planting material is kept in a solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes. Then the tubers are thoroughly examined. If areas with signs of rot or other diseases are found on them, they are carefully removed with a sharp knife, leaving only intact tissue. Cutting points are treated with brilliant green. You cannot skip this stage, since the cultivation of calla lilies in the open field will be successful only when using healthy planting material.

The soil on the site is enriched by scattering complex mineral preparations over its surface (in a dosage of 30–40 g per 1 m²) and dug up. The tubers are planted in holes 5–10 cm deep. If a rhizome variety of a flower is chosen, the holes are made even smaller, sprinkling the rhizomes with soil quite a bit. When planted deep, they will almost certainly rot. For the full development of callas, a lot of space is required, therefore, an interval of 30–40 cm is left between the plants. Putting the tubers in the soil, they are sprinkled with a nutritious substrate. You cannot press them into the ground. Planting ends with intensive watering.

A typical mistake of inexperienced gardeners is the expectation of quick shoots from calla lilies. Do not get upset, and even more so try to dig out the tuber to check its condition if the sprouts do not hatch for a long time. Having decided to grow a crop, you need to be patient. Its shoots appear only when the underground part of the flower is fully formed. This period can range from 2 weeks to a month.

Advice

Caring for calla lilies placed in the ground involves refusing to water for the first 14 days. The tubers should have enough moisture that they received when planting.

You can make it easier for the plant to survive in the open field by preparing it for changing conditions. To this end, at the end of March, its tubers are planted in small pots. It is allowed to shift the date of the procedure to the beginning of April, but not later. It is not necessary to deepen them much, it is enough to dig in 2- - cm. It is better to plant flowers in a substrate specially purchased in the store, but you can also use ordinary soil, having previously calcined it in the oven for 40 minutes. Further care for calla lilies includes regular watering (once every 3-4 days). Before moving to a flower bed, young plants are hardened for a week, opening a window for a short time. It is necessary to plant them in the ground with an earthen clod so as not to damage the root system.

Calla lilies

In summer, caring for calla lilies in the garden is easy. Flowers will require special attention only in preparation for winter. Until autumn, they only need watering, weeding and loosening the soil. The regular and correct implementation of these simple procedures is a guarantee that the cultivation of noble calla lilies on the site will lead to its normal development, implying a long and lush flowering.

Watering the culture needs moderate, but frequent. You cannot overdo it with it, otherwise there is a high risk of ruining the plants. But the soil should not dry out either. They begin to moisturize it regularly when the flowers release the first leaves. The amount of introduced moisture also depends on the weather conditions. If the summer is hot and dry, calla lilies are watered more abundantly. When the days are not hot, and there is enough natural precipitation, the soil in the flowerbed is moistened 2 times a week. Watering is always completed by lightly loosening the topsoil.

If, when planting plants, complex nutrient compositions were introduced into the ground, then further care in the form of additional dressings for calla lilies will not be needed. These flowers thrive best in acidic soil. If the soil on the site does not comply with this requirement, it is watered with a weak aqueous solution of citric acid or vinegar (1 tbsp. L of the drug per 1 bucket of water).Often it is not necessary to carry out the procedure, 2-3 times per season is enough. Calla lilies are not capricious, but they will be grateful if the soil around them is dug, having previously sprinkled dry needles over it. Such care will help create an acidic environment that is optimal for plants. Its undoubted plus is that it is formed naturally ˗ as a result of the processing of needles by worms.

Preparing for winter

Even in the southern regions, our winters are too harsh for calla lilies, so the autumn care of the plant involves extracting it from the soil. After the flowering period ends, the leaves of the tuberous varieties of the culture begin to turn yellow and gradually dry out. If this happened, then it’s time to dig them up. The procedure is usually carried out in the third week of September, being careful, as calla tubers are easily damaged. You can postpone it until the beginning or even mid-October, if weather conditions permit. The main thing is to be in time before the first frost.

The tubers are carefully cleaned of soil, thoroughly washed under running water and, after keeping for 30 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate and rinsing again, they are placed to dry in a dark, cool and well-ventilated place where the temperature does not rise above 5-10˚ C. The flowers are stored there for 2 weeks. Such care is necessary so that the nutrients accumulated in the leaves of the plant are transferred to the tubers. At the end of this period, the wilted aerial parts are easily removed, and the tubers are laid out in paper bags with perforations. The optimum temperature in winter for them is 5-7˚ C. Drawers for vegetables in a regular refrigerator will provide it.

Advice

It is also possible to store calla lilies in boxes, but in this case, each tuber must be wrapped in several layers of newsprint.

Rhizome varieties of a flower, after being removed from the ground, together with an earthen clod, it is advisable to keep in a cool place, occasionally watering moderately. If this is not possible, then another method will do. The rhizomes need to be dried a little and the leaves should be cut off. The rules for storing them are identical to those for storing tubers. But you cannot leave both those and others for the whole winter without attention, they need some care.

It is necessary to monitor their condition by examining the future planting material every week. If the temperature is too high for them, the tubers and rhizomes will begin to dry out and wrinkle. And excess moisture will lead to their decay. Having found the first signs of bud awakening, flowers can be planted in a pot, and then ˗ on a flower bed, observing the rules described above.

Garden callas are amazing plants. Symbolizing the best qualities: nobility, dignity, pride, purity, ˗ they will become real queens in the flower bed. Their majestic beauty will attract admiring glances for a long time, and the delicate sensual aroma will seem to transfer you to the atmosphere of oriental fairy tales. They are truly versatile, looking equally good in a front garden, in a pot on a windowsill, and cut in a vase.

Do not be afraid of the southern origin of callas. For all their exoticism, they are very unpretentious. Caring for them is incredibly simple, which distinguishes them favorably from many garden plants and makes them the darlings of most flower growers. One has only to ensure that the calla lilies plant in the right place, water them regularly and loosen the soil in the flower bed, and they will give the world all their splendor. Try to grow this elegant flower on the site and it will charm you!

In our latitudes, two varieties of calla lilies perfectly coexist: tuberous and rhizomatous.
