    The yellowing leaves could indicate a watering issue. The Calla Lily prefer a good loamy, well draining soil that is moist. The soil should stay evenly moist but never soggy.

    Here is an article to refresh you on the care requirements.

    Calla lilies have beautiful foliage, even when the plants are not in bloom. If the foliage still is green and healthy looking, let it grow as it is adding interest to the garden. Once it begins its decline, or after a killing frost, cut the old foliage off.

    Giving your Calla Lily some partial shade in those high temps is probably a good idea, and if the soil gets dry toward the end of the day then yes, double-up on the water. Calla Lilies like to be kept moist.

    Likely a 10 to 12 inch pot should be sufficient for your plants, but if your Calla Lily are larger you should not overcrowd and go to a larger pot.

    Use a potting mix with a pH level between 5.8 and 6.2, that contains about two parts coir or pine bark and one part soilless potting media. Select a container with a bottom drainage hole so excess moisture doesn't collect in the pot.

    There are many different varieties available now and I have seen some with unique leaf variations.

    Yes. As with most plants (there are a couple of exceptions), injured leaves will first turn brown and then die. You can continue to trim the leaf down as it dies off but that will expose more and more of the stem.

    Here is some additional information on the care of Calla Lilies:
