I have been given a Calla Lily (purple variety) as a house plant. It came with no care intsructions. It looked very dry so I watered it & it is now leaking/dripping water from the tips of its leaves & flowers. Is this normal ? How best do I care for the plant? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I have white calla lillies in my pond, which I am now hoping to split. I also have 3 other smaller calla plants of different colours, will they be ok planted in my pond, or am I better to plant them in a longish planter. I f so how deep should the planter be for all three plants planted together ??
We moved into a new property in April which had been empty for two years. In the garden is an amazing calla lily plant which grew 15 flowers recently. They have all died off now. A lot of the dead flowers are now bending over with the weight of what look like green pods inside. What should we do to ensure it flowers again next year please? I assume not a lot, as it has survived for two years without any help!! Thank you.
What do I do wiht the lily's after they have bloomed, and during winter. I recieved them from Gardeners world at the begining of the year. They bloomed womderfully,I cut of dead blooms , what now for next year?
i moved into a new property in july and was given a cala lilly as a present. I just stuck it in the ground which is quite heavy and it took off like a rocket 8, 9 huge green leaves. Now the first frost has hit and its all drooped. What should I do to protect the 'bulb' please?

I have just bought two cclla lily bulbs, a pink and a purple one. As its the end of March I planted them in pots in my unheated greenhouse, but I've since read in my Percy Thrower book that they flower in the spring, shall I wait until the autumn to start them off, or put some heat underneath them now in my propagator, please advise
A very late answer to debbie, may 2009. the lily you may be looking for is schwarzwalder, a very dark aubergine colour. my daughter had them as her bouquet and have just brought some back from Holland to try and grow for myself.
