Question & Answer - Calla Lily Bulbs

QUESTION

Calla Lily with Pitcher Plants

I received calla bulbs a few days ago. I want to plant them in containers. What tips can you share with me so these plants will be healthy and beautiful in my garden? How many bulbs should i sow in a specific sized pot? I am looking forward to your response. Thank you so much.

ANSWER
The calla lily bulb can go into an 8 inch pot, or larger if you are planting it with other flowers. Callas like a lot of water, so the larger the pot, the less often you will have to water it. Don't let it totally dry out. It will grow nicely in boggy conditions, so if you have some garden soil with clay in it, you could mix that into your potting mix to help it hold water. If you plant a mix of flowers, make sure the others in the pot need the same conditions as the calla. It will grow in sun or part sun.
