calla lily
 
Hi Everyone
I have bought a calla lily a few weeks ago and unfortunately it's not doing
to well. I'm keeping it inside, next to the window /not direct sun/,
watering every other day. Leaves started turning yellow and they just don't
look healthy. I don't have much experience with this type of flowers so any
word of advice would be very appreciated:): what kind of light, soil, how
often should I water it.
I want to keep it indoors, possibly in my kitchen or living room. Any ideas?
Thanks:)

calla lily
 
We have two calla lilies in our pool garden both in full
sun. One has spectacular blooms right now.

They like moist, not wet, soil and they like sun. Our limey
clay soils need amendment with some organic matter to loosen
it up and 2" of mulch keeps the soil from drying out. We
water no more than twice weekly during exceptionally hot and
dry weather. I doubt that a calla would ever be happy as an
indoor plant.

Good luck,
Jessi
