How to Plant Calla Lily

1. Time Selection

For Calla Lily, the success rate of sowing is relatively high, and choosing the right time can further increase the chance of survival. March or August is best. However, if the temperature is suitable, it is generally possible in spring or autumn.

2. Preparation

1. Selection of substrate: Suitable substrate is also helpful for survival. You can use perlite and coarse sand, or you can use leaf mold, peat soil, etc. Regardless of the substrate, it must be disinfected before use. It can be exposed to the sun for a few days, or other disinfectants can be used. Its roots are weak, so if there are bacteria, it may cause a greater impact.

2. Seed selection: Its fruit set rate is not very high, so we can artificially select a strong mother plant and then pollinate it. Collect the seeds afterwards.

3. Sowing

After collecting the seeds and preparing the substrate, you can sow them. Choose fuller seeds and spread them into the soil as evenly as possible. Then, cover with a layer of soil.

4. Subsequent maintenance

The temperature should always be around 20 degrees. Pay special attention to the light. If the light is strong during sowing, remember to provide shade after sowing, such as with the help of a shade net. In about a month, the seeds will germinate and seedlings will grow. With normal care, it will bloom in the second year.
