calla lilies blooming times
Comments (19)I have had in the past an Easter lily, Oriental lily, and other colored Calla lilies. Needless to say it all ended tragically. With the heat in Houston and the humidity it has taken the life of many of my green "friends" and I�ve not had much success obviously until my hubby bought me another beautiful Calla lily (white) about 3 years ago. Obviously it got special attention so the only claim to success is through loving my husband which made it special; which in turn brought it lots of special treatment! It has grown like a weed since and puts out large beautiful green leaves and stalks but it has never actually bloomed that I have witnessed. I have waited patiently for it to start flowering again and aside from the flowers it came with it is just now leaves. Is there some reason that it�s not blooming? Is there something wrong with it? Am I doing something wrong? I love it because not only is it my favorite flower but it was a wedding/birthday gift so it�s sentimental too! Currently it is inside a big beautiful oriental fish bowl (it�s actually a flowerpot but shaped as a fish bowl). There is no drainage and it is watered enough for the soil to be moist but not enough for root rot. It sits in the shade outside not exposed to extreme light. I am desperate to get it blooming after it�s been basically in a coma for 2 years! What can I do??...See MoreBeginner's Questions about Calla Lilies
Comments (0)This year (in April), for the first time I planted seven Calla Lily tubers. For references, I live in Southern California close to the Coast. Six of my seven tubers did produce foliage and flowers. The last one did not make it. Lately, I have noticed that a couple of plants have lost all their foliage whereas the others have not. So here are my questions: - should I expect (as it is usually the case with bulbs) a total die-back of my plants at this time of the year? - should I dig up the tubers and replant them next year?

Comments (2)Gingerdog, I THOUGHT I just responded to your post, but I can't find my response! Calla lilies are aroids, called zantedeschia aethiopica. So they aren't related to lilies at all. If you try the search feature (type in above), I bet someone on one of the other forums could help! :0) Phyl...See Moregreenjesse
