It should be placed on the south balcony at home, in a sunny place. In summer, it is necessary to pay attention to shading to avoid burns from the strong sunlight at noon. In other seasons, it can get plenty of sunlight. Only with sufficient light can photosynthesis produce nutrients for the growth of Calla lily, and it will have lush branches and leaves and many flowers. 3. TemperatureCalla lily is an exotic flower, native to Africa, a warm environment, so it is not winter-resistant, and the best temperature for its growth is above 16 degrees. In winter, when the temperature is below 10 degrees, you must prepare warming measures. Do not use cold water for watering. The best time to water is at noon to avoid frostbite of the roots due to low temperature. In winter, the water can be placed in the sun for a while before watering. 4. WateringCalla lily has a relatively high demand for water during its growing period, and the soil must be kept slightly moist, so watering is necessary. The standard is that the soil should not be dry, and watering can be done as long as it is dry. In the summer when the temperature is high, you should pay attention to spraying more water to cool down the leaves and the surrounding temperature and humidity. In the winter, you should pay attention to drying the water in the sun first and watering at noon. 5. FertilizationIn order to grow Calla lily potted plants well, fertilization is necessary. During the growth period of Calla lily, it is best to fertilize once every two weeks, alternating between decomposed bean cake water and compound fertilizer.
