Certified ExpertA.This means that the plant has pests, either scale or aphids. The water is actually honeydew from these pests. These articles will help:

May 10, 2011Q.The Leaves on My Calla Lily Plants Are Turning Yellow
I have just planted a few plants in my front flower bed, and the leaves are turning yellow and it looks like the stem of some of the leaves and flowers are possibly rotting at the soil line. Could you tell me what could be causing this to happen?

May 10, 2011Q.Calla Lily in Arizona
We have a calla lily that was given to us in a container. Should we move it out of the sun? It was doing very well, but the past few days the leaves have begun to yellow some and the blooms are turning brown. It does get morning and early afternoon sun; and in Arizona, the temperature is beginning to rise.

Certified ExpertA.Moving it out of the sun will help. It needs more water and a shadier spot will reduce its water needs some.

May 15, 2011Q.Calla Lily Houseplant
I got a calla lily plant about 3 weeks ago. It looks like the flowers are beginning to die off. I know they need a 'dormant' period. My question is: Is there a certain time of the year they should be dormant? With this being summer, it is concerning me.

Certified ExpertA.They normally go into dormancy in the winter, but ones that are in containers can be forced into dormancy anytime. They may need more water and light to avoid going into dormancy, or you can just let them go and then enjoy another round of blooms indoors later in the year. This article will help:

May 22, 2011Q.Green Calla Lilies
My calla lilies bloom green, no color in the flowers. What am I doing wrong? When I bought them they had color. Then as the summer went on they came up green and stayed that way.

Certified ExpertA.Nothing wrong. Calla lily flowers often start out green and develop their color as they grow. The color should appear shortly.
