Is it suitable for Calla Lily to have a deep or shallow pot? What size pot is suitable for Calla Lily?

1. Is Calla Lily suitable for deep or shallow pots?

Calla lily likes warmth and water and is suitable for growing in a humid environment. It is not drought-tolerant, especially during the growing period, the soil must be kept moist, and the water content in the soil needs to be higher to meet its growth needs. Therefore, only a relatively deep pot can hold more water, and there is no need to water it too frequently to replenish it.

In addition, calla lilies have relatively high requirements for soil. It likes to grow in loose, fertile, water-retaining, humus-rich clay soil that can hold more water. Choosing a deep pot can keep the soil as moist as possible, so that the soil conditions are always suitable for plant growth. Shallow pots tend to accelerate the loss of water in the soil, causing the soil to dry out.

Therefore, you can choose a deeper clay pot with better air permeability. If you water too much and accidentally cause water accumulation, it is easier to drain the excess water using a clay pot.

2. What size pot is suitable for Calla Lily?

The flowerpot for planting calla lily should not be too big or too small. The appropriate size of the flowerpot should be selected according to its size when growing. A flowerpot that is too big or too small is not conducive to the growth of the plant. You can use a smaller flowerpot at the beginning, and then change to a flowerpot with a diameter of more than 25 cm as the plant grows.

3. Should Calla Lily be placed in a tall or short pot?

As the calla lily grows, its petiole will grow to 0.4 to 1 meter or even 1.5 meters, and the leaves will be 15 to 45 centimeters long and 10 to 25 centimeters wide. The overall appearance is relatively high, and the requirements for flower pots are also relatively high. Relatively speaking, it is more appropriate to use a tall pot.
