Cultivation methods and precautions of colored calla lily

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Soil with good air permeability is more suitable for its growth. When preparing the soil, you can put a layer of sand at the bottom of the flowerpot, and the top layer can be mixed with garden soil or sandy soil and leaf mold.

2. Temperature: It prefers a cooler growing environment, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is 22-30℃. In the summer, you must pay attention to high temperature and sun protection. When winter comes, you must move it indoors as soon as possible because it is afraid of the cold.

3. Watering: Just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist at ordinary times. There is no need to strictly customize the watering time. If you find that the soil is turning white and dry, water it thoroughly. In summer, you can spray water frequently to keep it moist and clean the leaves.

4. Light: It can be placed indoors during normal maintenance, but it needs more sunlight during its rapid growth stage. The light requirements are different at different stages, just make sure the sunlight is not too strong.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Post-flowering care: After its flowers bloom, they will lose their ornamental value, so the withered flowers should be cut off in time. Also pay attention to cutting off the surrounding dead and old branches to avoid waste and excessive loss of nutrients so that it can grow better.

2. Pruning: When repotting, you should also prune the roots appropriately, and remove all the dead and rotten roots to promote the growth of new roots. Just change to a bigger flowerpot, put some soil in it and replant it.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: The most common reason is that there is insufficient nutrients in the potting soil, which means it is time to apply fertilizer, which will cause yellow leaves. Fertilizer should be applied to it in time to ensure sufficient nutrients.

2. No flowering: The reason why it does not bloom may be that the temperature of the environment in which it grows is too high. If the temperature is too high, it is not conducive to its flowering, and there must be sufficient light to promote its flowering. Therefore, the temperature should not be too high during maintenance, and the temperature should be lowered to 30℃.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Colored Calla Lily is somewhat toxic. It contains alkaloids and herbal calcium crystals, so you must be careful not to eat it accidentally during maintenance.

2. Can it be raised indoors? Although it is poisonous, there is no problem in raising it indoors. Just be sure to place it at a higher place away from children.
