Pink Calla Lily Care & Buying Guide
In warmer climates (zones 8-10), calla lilies grow well in partial shade (4-6 hours) to full sun (6-8 hours). In cooler climates (zones 3-7), they enjoy full sun.
Keep your Calla Lily consistently moist but not in soggy soil. Use filtered, bottled, or tap water that is sitting 24 hours to release the chemicals and water enough to discharge out of the drainage holes. Once the water is fully drained, replace it into the cache or decorative pot.
The Calla Lily enjoys and thrives in average humidity.
Comfortable room temperatures will help the Calla Lily to thrive.
Outside: Place in bright, indirect light if grown in a greenhouse and flowering so the leaves don't burn. Inside: Set in bright, indirect light.
Rhizomes planted in containers: Apply a liquid fertilizer especially formulated for flowering bulbs at half strength every two weeks in a container. Rhizomes planted in the garden: Add an organic fertilizer such as bone meal rich in phosphorus, calcium, and a trace of nitrogen. These nutrients will help the roots establish. A soluble bulb fertilizer like 3-5-3 can also be apart of the soil amendments to give your bulbs a good start. As the foliage emerges, repeat the bulb fertilizer application each month until they start blooming. Stop when the Calla's start flowering to help extend the life of the bloom.
Cut the leaves back after the first frost when the foliage turns yellow. If you are in a cooler zone (3-7), remove the rhizomes from the soil with an inch of stem attached. Knock off all the soil and lay them on newspaper in a dry place for a week. Do not wet or wash the rhizomes. Sprinkle them with powdered sulfur to protect against fungi while they're in dormancy. Lay on a single layer screen or in a mesh bag so air can circulate around them. Store the rhizomes at 50°F-60°F. When all chance of frost has passed in the spring, plant in the garden at a depth of 3 to 4 inches deep and 12 to 18 inches apart after the last frost in your planting zone. Place your rhizomes in a horizontal position, so the eyes are facing upward. Add compost or soil conditioners and mix in with the native soil.. Depending on the warmth of the soil, it usually takes 60 days to bloom. If growing in a planter container, use a well-draining potting soil with perlite to aerate the soil. Add amendments to clay soils in the garden to aerate the soil and allow for good drainage.
Cut the leaves back after the first frost when the foliage turns yellow. Trim back faded flowers to the base of the stem.
Divide the rhizomes in the spring after the last frost in your planting zone. Plant each rhizome (type of root system) in a deep container at least 3-4 inches deep with soil underneath it for rooting. Set the growing tips facing upward. Cover with well-draining soil (add amendments to heavy soil in the garden). Wait until the plant is producing new green leaves before starting to fertilize. Stop fertilizing when buds form.

Pink Calla Lily: Care Guide
Growing Pink Calla Lilies plants is easy; they are perfect for beginner gardeners. Follow these Pink Calla Lily care tips to help your plant thrive and produce blooms:
Watering and Humidity
Your Zantedeschia Pink Calla Lily will grow best in consistently moist soil; ensure the soil drains well and doesn’t get waterlogged. Use filtered or bottled water for the best effect, and water thoroughly before replacing your Lily Pink Zantedeschia in its decorative pot. Average humidity is best for your Pink Calla plant.
Light and Temperature
Provide bright, but indirect light for your Pink Calla Lily. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves and blooms. One important Calla Lily care tip is to adjust the light levels according to your plant’s location. Place your plant in a sunnier location indoors and in partial shade outdoors. In a cooler climate, provide your Calla Lily Pink Zantedeschia with more hours of sunlight daily. Calla plants grow best in temperatures ranging from 50℉ to 75℉.
Soil and Repotting
Choose a well-draining, compost-rich potting soil mixed with perlite for your Calla plant. To provide your potted Calla Lily with the best care, repot annually to promote healthy growth. Use a slightly larger pot with drainage holes.
If you’re growing your Pink Calla outdoors in the ground, dig up the rhizomes after the first frost. Cut back the faded foliage, place the rhizomes on a newspaper to dry, and then store them in a dry place with good air circulation until next spring.
Feeding and Propagation
Fertilizing correctly is one of the important aspects of properly caring for a Pink Calla Lily. Use a liquid fertilizer for flowering bulbs every two weeks (for potted plants) and once monthly (if growing in the ground). Dilute the fertilizer to half-strength. The easiest way to propagate your Zantedeschia Calla Lily is by division in early spring.
Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues
Trim off the yellowing leaves after the first frost and remove any damaged leaves if necessary. Remove dead flowers, cutting to the base of the stem. Yellowing leaves are a sign of overwatering; ensure the pot has drainage holes and wait for the soil to dry. Lack of blooms is usually the result of insufficient light. If you keep your potted Calla Lily outdoors as a porch plant, remember to bring your plant indoors before the temperatures drop. Keep it indoors or in a sunroom throughout winter.
