What are the breeding methods and precautions of white rhinoceros calla lily?

The white rhinoceros calla lily is also called the silver dragon calla lily. It is a common foliage plant with a small plant. Its most attractive feature is its silvery-white leaves with stripes. The leaves feel particularly textured and are very easy to grow. They have a unique beauty when placed indoors.

How to cultivate white rhinoceros calla lily

1. Lighting

White rhinoceros calla lily is suitable for growing in places with sufficient scattered light, such as under the shade of trees or on east-facing or north-facing balconies. It should avoid strong sunlight. If it is overexposed to the sun, the edges or tips of the leaves will turn brown.

2. Watering

White Rhinoceros Calla Lily has a moderate tolerance to drought. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging in the potting soil. Generally, wait until the bottom 3-5 cm of the potting soil is dry, and then water it thoroughly in time. In the winter when the temperature is low and below 15 degrees, you should also pay attention to water control and keep the potting soil slightly dry.

3. Soil

The roots of the white rhinoceros calla lily are fleshy and prefer soil with good air permeability. It is recommended to directly use Akadama soil, large expanded clay and peat soil, mixed in a ratio of 5:3:2. You can appropriately mix in some rice husk charcoal, wood ash, etc. These materials have a certain bactericidal effect and can avoid the problem of root rot, but don't add too much.

4. Flower Pots

Do not plant the White Rhinoceros Calla Lily in a pot that is too deep or too large to avoid continuous water accumulation in the soil. If the pot is too deep, the water will dissipate more slowly, which may easily cause root rot. It is more suitable to use a shallow red peach pot, Alice pot or gallon pot for planting.

White Rhino Calla Lily Maintenance Precautions

1. Note when changing pots

There is no need to repot the potted white rhinoceros calla lily frequently. It is usually repotted every 1-2 years, and each time you repot, you should not change to a pot that is too large all at once. The soil added after repotting should also be the same as before. The best time to repot is in spring and autumn.

2. High and low temperature precautions

The growth of the white rhinoceros calla lily will slow down when it is too hot, so do not fertilize it when the temperature is high, especially when the temperature is above 33°C. In winter when the temperature is low, be sure to control watering, especially when the temperature is below 15 degrees, it will stop growing and should always be kept in a relatively dry state.

3. Pest and disease protection

In the overly hot and humid summer, if you do not pay attention to enhancing the ventilation of the environment, the white rhinoceros calla lily is prone to leaf spot disease and red spider mites. You must spray pesticides in time. You can use common mitoxazole, cypermethrin and Jinmanzhi, etc. Spray once every three days, and spray continuously for about 3-4 times.
