zantedeschia help please
 

Hi

I have some new 'baby' (don't know the botanical description)
Zantedeschia's, they are in small pots on a utility room (not very warm)
window cill which gets some light. They all have two leaves (2-4inch tall
approx) and whilst slow growth right now is slow some are very green and
healthy looking and some are looking a bit blotchy. I really like these and
don't want to lose any, please could somebody give me some growing advice ?

Some types do have blotchy leaves. Did yours all come from the same source
and do you expect them all to be the same type? Or did you buy them from
different nurseries?

Hi Sacha

Thanks, they are all the same and are the ones without blotchy leaves,
Crowborough (I think).

I do know the ones you mean, I have some Elliotana (yellow) calla's which
have those leaves.

Probably got a bit cold one night when the leaves had some water
(condensation) on them. Should get over it, but watch the watering, they
won't need so much now it's cold.
Mine stay out all year, they are in a border, as do the ones in neighbours
gardens. They get cut back to ground level with frost each winter but come
up again come spring.

OK thanks for the info, I think I may have over-watered them.
