April 10, 2016A.This is referred to as guttation or "crying" and occurs when your plant has had too much water. Basically, excess water accumulates in the plant creating a slight root pressure. The root pressure builds up and forces some water to exude through the leaves. Be careful not to over-water your plant.

I have Calla lilies growing in a container on my patio in Delray Beach, Florida where the temperatures are always warm. Our winter temperatures can typically be between 50 to 60 degrees for no longer than 2 months. Could you please let me know how to care for my Calla lilies? Thanks!

April 13, 2016A.Check the soil. Calla Lilies soil should be moist, but never soggy.
Curling leaves can also indicate lack of sunlight or insects and disease.
Inspect the plant for any signs of insect damage.
Cool and wet conditions can cause a fungus and root rot.

April 14, 2016A.In my research I have not been able to fine a pest that leaves a trail like the one you describe.
Neem Oil can be used to treat most infestations on plants.

May 2, 2016A.I would increase the amount of sunlight. Calla Lily prefer full sunshine and a moist, well draining soil.
