I have a deep purple Calla Lily which I keep as a houseplant. This is the second year it hasn't flowered and now it has started to drip water/liquid from the end of its leaves. Could you tell me the causes of these problems please?
Flowering plants that fail to flower usually have one or two things going on. Most common is insufficient light; the other is too much nitrogen. Calla lilies also require a dormant period.

Many plants exude water from the tips of their leaves. This is called guttation, and is usually a sign that the plant is vigorously moving moisture through its tissues. Nothing to worry about.
I received a calla lily for Mother's Day and understood that I could repot it and it would grow indoors as a houseplant. I live in an apartment and I keep it in a low light area but it is not doing too good. I would like to keep it year round indoors. What should I do, or is it not a good plant to grow inside?
I find Calla Lily does not do well inside. Mine do very well in the garden with a sunny wall behind and a reasonable supply of water.
Two separate patches, 40 sq feet and 60 sq feet. Each are protected by a 2 story structure and each get only very early morning fun. Last year the larger of the two suddenly just laid down. The luscious green stalks were easily 4 feet high and producing constant blooms, appeared ever so healthy. I cut back those that could not stand and eventually the garden came back. This year the second garden duplicated the same behavior. "What in the world"?

It's not slugs.
There are many things that could be eating your calla lily leaves. If you've eliminated slugs, that still leaves a host of caterpillars, grubs, beetles, and grasshoppers. You can do some detective work at night with a flashlight, or dig around in the soil to see if anything is curled up there. Even if you can't identify the culprit(s), you might try spraying the plants with neem oil. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm
My calla lily flowers are green.

I have calla lilies in pots - I have one where the bloom is not opening all the way and the pod inside is very large and drooping over. Can I plant these pods in the bloom for more flowers or is this a form of root rot?
The pod is actually the flowers, hundreds of very tiny flowers. The white part is a kind of bract, which are modified leaves. While under very special conditions the flowers might become fertilized and produce seed, this is not likely to happen under home conditions. So no, you can't plant the "pod' and grow new plants. You can grow new plants by separating and planting the rhizomes, what some people think are bulbs.

I just bought 2 containers of Calla Lily and thought I could put them in a window box and still cut them to bring inside for a vase. If I cut them, will they not come back? Will they re-bloom? If so, how would I cut them?
There are dozens of varieties of calla lillies, and most of them will bloom for 2 or 3 months, the flowers lasting a couple of weeks. Of course you can cut the the flowers -- cut the stem as close as possible to the soil, at the point where it emerges from the leaves. After the flowers have bloomed, you can save the rhizomes, and plant them again next year for more flowers.
