Growing Calla Lilies

Question

I planted a bunch of calla lillies about 2 weeks ago. Almost every day there seems to be 1 or 2 stalks that has fallen over. When I pick it up, it pulls right out of the group and the bottom is all mushy and seems rotted. What would cause this? What can I do to stop this from continuing?

Answer 1

There are several 'rots' or fungal infections that calla lilies are prone to. You may have over watered them or the bulbs may have been infected before planting. There's nothing you can do. Don't replant your new bulbs in the same spot.
