I am a oap and I have just wanted to grow some cala lilly. I do not have any photos as I have yet to start growing.
Calla Lily are a beautiful plant.
I'm listing several articles on caring for this lovely plant.

I just bought two pots of Calla lily at Costco “Preplanted bulbs - just add water” it said. When we removed the lid this snow white, rootlike stems sprung out. It looks like something out of a Horror Movie. What should I do?
The bulbs/tubers sprouted before they were sold. Without sunlight, the leaves are white. It's hard to say whether they can survive. Seriously consider returning them. They packed 5 tubers in an average size pot so they must be small ones and may be depleted at this point. The only way to know for sure is to unpot them and see if the tubers are shriveled, not a good move if you are going to return them.

I recently planted these calla lilies back in March- they only bloomed and had green leaves for a little over a month. I’ve experimented with watering them too much too little but I don’t think water is an issue... Now most of them are brown (dead?) and the ones that are doing the best, have seeds on them. I’ve done a little research about re-harvesting them but can someone tell me if they are ready to be cut to reseed and how do I go about doing it? Also is there anything I can do about the brown leaves or will they came back next year? Do I need to pull out the brown dead leaves?? Please help! Thank you!!
Yes, you can remove the dead foliage to tidy up the plants. Are you fertilizing? Calla lilies need fertilizer monthly or a slow release fertilizer every 2 or 3 months. And yes, you can harvest the seeds to grow, but it may take three years for them to bloom.
Here is information on the care of calla lilies and growing them from seed. Good luck!

I was given a potted Calla Lily. I cut and place the drooping blooms in a vase. Will this harm the plant long-term?
No, as long as you let the foliage grow and go dormant naturally.

these were a gift so I'm anxious for them to look good should the giver call on me
It would help to include photos! This is a product of nature, and completely normal if they are, in fact, seeds.
If these are falling over and have reproductive organs, and not actual seeds, then this will be a different problem altogether.
Floppy plants that are not seeded can be falling over for several reasons, including: too much water, not enough water, too much light, not enough light, and so on. (Contradictory, I know)
Pictures, and a good description of your care for them along with the climate in the immediate area that they reside will help me to help you better.
In the meantime, this article will give you more information on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/growing-calla-lilies-and-care-of-calla-lilies.htm
I have a Calla Lilly that is 44 years old. How many more years will it survive?
I was not able to find a timespan that Calla bulbs can last; 44 years is an extreme amount of time for bulbs to remain healthy and still produce.
You must be doing some amazing care of your plant!
