why does my calla lily drip liquid off the leaves? Are they meant to do this? I have it as an indoor plant.
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!

Bulb leaves are curling and wilting. In fact, some are just breaking off.
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.
