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 ? MTIA Steve (UK) |

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.

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? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

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. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

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