I have 2 calla lilies planted in my front flowerbed. Morning sun. . partial shade in the afternoon. Full shade later in the day. They are big plants and seem to like the area, except the blooms droop. Can you tell me why?
My experience has been that when calla blooms droop, it is usually 1. age and/or 2. not enough sun. As long as the drooping doesn't bother you too much, it won't hurt the plant. If you haven't divided the tubers in the past 4-5 years, it might be a good idea to do so after frost nips the foliage. Plant some in full sun and see what happens. The article at this link explains dividing and storing callas: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/calla-lily-winter-care.htm
This article states that callas are not hardy north of zone 7. We are in zone 6, and have never had a problem overwintering callas with nothing extra to protect them.
The leaves are drooping and the flowers as well. Also, the flowers have these really big pod looking things in the middle. I need some help please.
Not enough light or water can make leaves on calla plants droop or wilt. As for the flowers, what you are seeing is the seed pod of the plant, which can be cut off or, if wanting to propagate the seeds, left to ripen on the plant before collecting the seeds. If it's already yellow and feels soft, then it should be ripe enough to use. Take out the seeds and allow them to dry out some (Note: they may require rinsing with water to remove pulp). They can then be stored after drying or planted right away. Keep in mind that they take longer to mature when planted this way verses offsets.
I'm a first time gardener. Just got my first apartment and I love calla lily plants. So I'm wondering is it good to grow them inside the home?
Yes, callas make good indoor plants, especially if they spend summers outside. Here is some info on growing and caring for calla lily plants that should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/growing-calla-lilies-and-care-of-calla-lilies.htm
Can I replant the bulbs now in summer to another spot in the garden, which is the south side of the house?
As long as you can keep them well watered as they adjust to their new location, that should be fine.
I have my calla lilies in a container that were doing great, but all of a sudden they started getting droopy. I thought maybe they got root rot, so I cut them back today, but was wondering what causes that. I water them once a week or week and a half, so I don't know what is the problem. I thought maybe I should get them out of the container and change the potting soil. What do you think?
Root rot is caused by too much water. These plants should be kept somewhat moist, but not overly wet. You can check for moisture by inserting your finger into the soil. If it feels quite wet, then this is likely your problem. You can also check the roots by removing the plants from the pot (this will also let you see how wet it is). Should root rot be the issue, then this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/treating-root-rot-gardening-tips-for-housplants.htm
I was given a potted calla lily. It bloomed in pot, then it went dormant in pot. What can I do to keep it alive to rebloom another day? I live in zone 7, so planting outside probably is not indicated. Right? I hate to throw out the plant!
You can transplant them outdoors if you would like. Just prepare the planting hole around the same depth as the pot it is currently in and water it well.

The last two summers my Calla Lilies have grown so well and so tall that they could not support their own foliage. They did bloom well, but not as well as previous years when the plants did not grow so tall. I live in southeast Missouri, about 120 miles south of St. Louis.
This is typically an indication that the plants are not getting enough sun. I would see if it is possible to get them just a bit more light, perhaps by thinning any plants that may be shading the area.
