Calla Lily
Seed
Posts: 14
I planted a Calla Lily rhizome a few weeks ago. This has happened. I was convinced it was planted the correct way up but these look like roots. Any thoughts? Leave to correct itself or move? The picture may not help; I can always zoom-in if more info is needed.

if it's been in the pot " a few weeks" the roots will be growing down ( even if the corm is upside down ) If these " shoot" have just appeared, they're fine.
Is it in a darkish place? They seem very pale.
Hi Hostafan,
Thanks for the info. The pot is in the greenhouse, so plenty of light. It is bizarre.

how close it is to the surface? It might be too shallow for roots to go down, without going up first. If that makes sense.
I can't see it doing any harm to leave a wee while longer. You could gently remove it to check. Obviously being very careful with the roots/ shoots.
