how to grow calla lily

Question

How to grow calla lily. I bought a calla lily at Home Depot. I planted it in the ground, but the leaves and the lilies are very droopy. I am going to dig it up and put it in a pot. What type of soil and watering should I do?

Answer 1

The plant is likely suffering from shock as it adjusts to the new environment and this normally clears up on its own provided you keep it well watered.
