How to grow fairy lilies

1. Temperature

The fairy calla lily likes high temperatures and is not cold-resistant. It requires the temperature of the growing environment to reach above 20 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the calla lily will stop growing and enter a dormant period. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary to take insulation measures for it in time, such as building a shed or moving the plant into a greenhouse.

2. Lighting

The fairy calla lily prefers a semi-shady growing environment and is suitable for cultivation in a place with bright light indoors. Generally, it can be moved outdoors in the morning and evening in spring and autumn to absorb appropriate light, which is helpful for its growth.

3. Soil

The fairy calla lily does not have high requirements for soil. It only needs loose and fertile soil. You can use substrates such as leaf mold and peat soil. You can add some base fertilizer to the soil before potting to increase the fertility of the soil.

4. Fertilization

Fairy calla lilies like fertilizer very much. The frequency of fertilization is once a month. You can use thin fertilizer or water-soluble fertilizer to increase the nutritional supply of calla lilies and promote their growth. Of course, you cannot fertilize too much, otherwise it will cause the leaves of calla lilies to become burnt.

5. Moisture

When watering the fairy calla lily, remember to follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and wet, and keep the soil slightly moist. In summer, due to high temperatures and fast evaporation of water, the frequency and amount of watering should be increased. In winter, the temperature is low and the plant enters a dormant period. At this time, water less or even stop watering to avoid water accumulation.

Precautions for the maintenance of fairy lilies

The fairy calla lily cannot tolerate direct sunlight. It needs to be shaded in the summer and should not be placed in direct sunlight. Otherwise, the leaves will turn yellow and in severe cases the plant will wither. It is best to move it indoors for cultivation.
