Interesting question: why calla does not bloom

Some experienced gardeners have calla flowers, while others do not. What is the secret? Calla lilies are known to love freedom: a big pot, good soil. That is why small sprouts are removed, which are immediately transplanted into a large bowl.

It is also necessary to send the calla to a well-deserved rest. That is, in winter, stop watering, do not cut off the foliage, let it dry up itself. Keep in a cool place. When this is not possible, then simply put in a corner. To avoid drying of the tubers, occasionally water a little. From April, you can give her plenty of water. And already in the summer it is necessary to take it out into the street or take it to the country. Even planting in the ground is practiced.

There are also known varieties of calla lilies that do not bloom at all. Also, to such a question, why the calla does not bloom, you can answer that she is missing something, she has not gained enough strength. For example, white calla flowers only twice a year, giving several peduncles at once. And then he rests for a long time. The main rule is to water often and abundantly, remove sprouts, and fertilize. And these plants do not require any special care.

In the botanical garden in Yalta, they once asked a guide why calla does not bloom at home. He replied that calla is a marsh plant. Therefore, it must be constantly filled with running water.

It is believed that the calla still needs a lot of lighting and potash-phosphorus fertilizers. It is also planted in the country immediately after frost in a relatively open place and by the fall it must necessarily bloom.
