I have a Calla Lily I kept over the winter. Some of the plant is about 1" through the ground. What do I do with this plant to prepare it to go outside?
You can move the plant into a brighter but still sheltered location.
Began to water the plant lightly.
When the temperatures warm enough it can be moved outdoors.

The bright, shiny, healthy green leaves are turning to a dull, 'rust' color....and the tips of the lily itself are turning brown and curling up. What am I doing wrong? I live in Fl and have them in direct sun?
The direct sun may be too much for the plants in your warmer climate.
Give them some shelter with the hottest part of the day.
Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.
Is there special care for calla lilies to cut and use in arrangements?
Cut the bottom of the stems with a clean and sharp knife at a 45 degree angle.
Place the stems in a cool water vase with floral preservative added. The depth of the water should be about 3" deep to prevent the stems from deteriorating.
The flowers drink a lot of water so add water daily and change every couple of days. If the stems began to split, recut them.
The Calla Lily flowers can bruise easily so handle them carefully.
I want to use calla lilies in my wedding the end of November and I want to grow my own to use, so the question is, can I get them to bloom at that time and how?
Calla Lilies are summer blooming flowers.
Forcing flowers to bloom out of their normal growing period would require a greenhouse location and carefully timing of bulbs, controlled light and temperatures.
I would not rely on your garden to provide November Calla Lily flowers.
Order your flowers from a greenhouse, flower shop or direct order from growers.

I received a potted calla lily for Easter. It is drooping. What does it need? I have not watered it and it is not dry.
Easter Lilies will generally last a few weeks indoors.
You can then plant your lily outdoors.
The potting medium that the growers use is quite light, this makes shipping easier. You should water the plant until the water runs through the drainage hole. Depending on the temperature, you plant will likely need watering every 3 to 5 days.

When do I plant Calla bulbs in Dallas, Tx? Also, plants left in ground in winter have not come up.
Planting of Calla Lily can be either spring or fall in zones 8-11.
I would give the bulbs a bit more time to wake up.
Calla Lily sometimes do not preform as well as one would like in warm zones and will benefit from lifting and storing to make sure they have a dormancy period.
Look for bulbs that are specific to warm climate growing.

After the flower blooms on the Calla Lily, do you cut it back? My Calla Lily is a houseplant. Thanks, edkdek@yahoo.com Doris
I would deadhead those flower blooms once they are spent. Here is an article that will tell you how:
