Is Calla Lily suitable for a deep pot or a shallow pot?

Should Calla Lily be potted in a deep or shallow pot?

Calla lilies are generally grown in deep pots because their roots can grow relatively long. Shallow pots will inhibit root growth and also affect the absorption of nutrients and water.

When planting Calla lilies, there are requirements for the material of the flower pot. Generally, a clay pot with good air permeability is the most suitable, and the price is also very cheap, but it is not very beautiful, so when planting, you can put a nice-looking ceramic pot or purple clay pot on the outside.

How to repot Calla Lily

1. Calla lily repotting time

It is best to repot Calla lilies in spring or autumn. The weather should be sunny when repotting, and do not do it on rainy days, otherwise water will accumulate in the soil of the Calla lily.

2. Watering Calla Lily after Repotting

Calla lilies need to be replenished with water in time after being repotted. When placed in a cool place to slow down the growth, just keep the soil moist. When the climate is dry, you can spray water into the air to increase the humidity.

3. Notes on Calla Lily Repotting

(1) Flower pot: After removing the Calla lily from the pot, choose a larger flower pot with better air permeability. Do not use a small pot for maintenance.

(2) Pruning: The roots of the Calla lily need to be pruned promptly after it is removed from the pot. Roots that are too long, rotten, or weak need to be pruned away.

(3) Potting soil: When repotting Calla lily, it is best to choose deep, fertile, loose, slightly acidic sandy loam as the potting soil. A mixture of leaf mold, garden soil and fine sand can be used for planting.
