80525Q.Calla lilies
Last summer I received a Calla Lily that was purchased from a grocery store. After it bloomed and the blooms died, I cut the dead flowers off. Since then I've kept it in the pot in a window. This spring it started to sprout new stalks of leaves but all they do is to grow super tall green leaves that fall over. I live in Fort Collins, Colorado so I'm not sure if I can plant them outside. I'd love them to bloom again but not sure if they will being from a grocery store vs. a nursery. Previous owners of our home planted a grocery store hydrangea outdoors, and while the plant comes back every year, it never creates blooms, hence my hesitation to plant the calla lily outside. I would be grateful for any suggestions on what to do with the lily, and the hydrangea for that matter. Thank you.

July 26, 2016A.Calla Lily can be placed outdoors either in pots or in the ground. If you live in a zone 8 or warmer garden they can stay in the ground year round.
If you live in a colder climate you will need to winter indoors.
The drooping plant can be due to a few reasons; including watering issues or lack of nutrition.
These articles will help you pinpoint the issues and refresh you on the care requirements.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/drooping-calla-lilies.htm

Moore, OK 73160 Zone 7Q.Calla lilies
I have a full healthy batch of Calla Lilies in my flower bed but they are no longer blooming. In the spring and early summer, they did great at blooming, but for the past month or so they get the initial trumpet look but do not color. I live in Oklahoma and believe the zone number is 7. I have never taken them up since planting them about 3 years ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Certified ExpertA.It is likely that your calla lily simply considers itself done blooming for the year. Each calla typically only blooms during a set period of the year and then focuses on producing seed and storing energy for next year.

August 8, 2016A.I would inspect your plant closely for an insect infestation - sounds like you might have aphids. For more information on aphids, please visit the following link:

August 15, 2016Q.Taking care of a potted calla lily
I received a potted calla lily for Mother's Day. It had a couple of flowers then but it's not made any new ones since. It's still in the same small container. I live in WI so not a time to plant outdoors now. I'd prefer to keep it as a houseplant. What's the best way to make it 'blossom' in the house?
