Certified ExpertA.I would hold off on cutting the foliage if any is still green, though you may trim back the flower stems on any spent blooms as well as any yellow or brown leaves.

October 21, 2012Q.Will Calla Lily Seeds Grow (From Your Plant in the Garden)
I planted my first calla lily this year and saw that in the fall it had seed pods. I have been trying to get them to sprout. Can it be done? And, if so, how?

Certified ExpertA.You can grow them by seeds but seed grown plants will take much longer to grow and produce flowers. Therefore, it is easier to just grow additional plants through division.

October 22, 2012A.How do you grow the calla lily from seeds. I have tryed a lot of different ways. maybe I just have to wait a lot longer before I see any sprouts? I put seens between two paper towels and water them daily. I have planted them in garden soil and have plastic on top, watering daily or when needed. Nothing is happing, I was told you would see sprouts in a few days. Am I doing the right thing ?

I have a beautiful assortment of different coloured calla lily flowering and want to know if they just have to stay in the pot or can I pick them and then have them reflower for more flowers during the growing season?

March 1, 2013Q.The Leaves on My Calla Lily Plants Are Turning Yellow

March 1, 2013A.Calla lily plants are best grown outside. If grown indoors, they require very high light, and will need proper fertilization. Since you didn't say how old the plants are, they may be trying to be dormant. Almost all bulbs need a period of dormancy. Hopefully the article accessable by this link can answer your questions: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/growing-calla-lilies-and-care-of-calla-lilies.htm
If you need more information, enter the word calla in the search window, and you will access links to other articles covering callas.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

March 20, 2013Q.Can White and Yellow Calla Lilies (Arum?) Be Planted in the Same Bed.
I have planted white (have not bloomed yet, first year) and yellow calla lilies in a damp postion/bed. Comments please. In ignorance I also planted pink in the same bed. I now understand that pink do not like damp positions. I have removed all except one pink and planted in a drier position. The one pink seems to be thriving, so I have left it. Comments please.

March 21, 2013A.Callas are equally stunning as a single color mass or mixed color mass. They like a rich, well-draining, slightly moist soil. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/growing-calla-lilies-and-care-of-calla-lilies.htm

Certified ExpertA.You cannot root (or plant) just the stems of these plants. You could try collecting the seeds from the flowers, though planting callas from seed will take much longer than from established plants or rhizomes. For more information on growing these plants, the following articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/growing-calla-lilies-and-care-of-calla-lilies.htm

April 29, 2013Q.Carpet Beetles in Calla Lily
How can I safely get rid of the carpet beetles that are all over my calla lilies? I see them every afternoon gorging on the pollen. I tried to spray them off but the water seems to be hard on the lily AND they just come back.
