    The plant is suffering from transplant shock, or repot stress. Generally, it is better to slowly introduce newly potted plants to sunlight rather than putting them right smack into it. They need time to acclimate to their new environment. I would make sure it has plenty of water and move it to a less sunny location for about a week or so and then slowly introduce it to more sunlight as it strengthens. More often than not, plants will recover on their own. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/repotting-stress-treatment.htm

    The bulbs can be stored in the pots in a cool, dry location. You will need to occasionally water your bulbs in containers about once a month over winter to keep them from totally drying out. Then put the pots back out once warm temps return. As for the succulent plants, these can simply be brought indoors and cared for as houseplants, again watering no more than once monthly or as needed over winter.

    If you planted the calla lilies with a nursery pot, it is possible that some Asiatic lily seeds got mixed into the potting soil for the calla lilies. Nurseries are on some level plant factories, so sometimes, plant debris (including seeds), get mixed in with the soil and can sprout later.

    They likely need more water. Increase your watering. It should be at least daily and 2x a day if the temps are over 80 F.

    As the pods mature, their weight will naturally bend the stem to the ground. Eventually, they will begin to turn yellow and become mushy, indicating they are ripe. At this point, you can harvest the pods for propagating additional plants. Otherwise, you can simply cut them off once they appear or cut the spent blooms just prior to their development.

    The plants may be suffering from transplant shock if newly plants. They need time to acclimate to their new environment. I would make sure it has plenty of water and even a dose of fertilizer (at half strength). More often than not, plants will recover on their own.
