1 flower in each of 2 of the pots. What kind of soil should I use?
. Any good quality, well-draining potting soil mix should work, and you can even use soilless mix if you'd like. I would begin to fertilize them to encourage blooming. Here's an article that explains the nutritional needs of calla lilies:

My husband ordered this flower for me online. It arrived by UPS in below 0 weather. When open the flowers were all drooped over the side like dead. What do I do.

My canna lilies seemed very healthy last summer. I grew them from new rhizomes in large pots as I have a 2nd floor terrace sheltered by the house and 3 sides of 4ft walls. I kept them fed and watered. They were in full sun last summer but when the flowers came they just dried up after one day. I do not have photos
Was the soil kept consistently moist? Have you inspected the leaves and buds for insects? Were the plants in full sun 4 to 6 hours a day? The more sun, the better they will bloom. Canna lilies will sacrifice blooms if they are not getting enough water or nutrients. Here is more on their care:

I received a calla lily in bloom as a gift. After the foliage died I stored the bulbs and planted them in a container outside the next spring. They took a while to sprout, but I did get some foliage over the summer, no blooms though. I brought the plant indoors for the winter and it continued to put out new leaves but still no blooms. I think it didn't receive enough sunlight over the winter months. (I am in zone 3, Northwestern Ontario) Now that it is almost April (still snowing here), I'm wondering if I should try to keep it alive until summer and try to put it out again to see if it will bloom, or stop watering and force it to go dormant before re-starting the bulbs later this spring. I should mention it has developed an infestation of spider mites in the past week or two and is not looking very healthy. Thanks for your input!

I’ve only had my calls lily for a couple of weeks and from the beginning it has been turning yellow. I make sure the soil is moist with well drainage and keep it in indirect bright light. Any tips would be much appreciated I don’t want to lose my baby thank you !! The last picture shows how some of the leaves are already losing their bright green color.

I transplanted Calla Lillies in the fall and they are growing very tall about 2 feet some leaves are falling over. What am I doing wrong.
Usually if a plant is too tall it is reaching for light. Do you have it in a full sun situation? Do I understand you brought it inside for the winter? It needs to be in a sunny window or use artificial lighting for more light.
I recently bought a Calla Lilly to keep in my sunroom. At the time of purchase, it was a medium pink. The blooms still look nice but they’ve turned dark red, almost burgundy and the newest bloom is light pink. Help??
This is, perfectly, normal! There will be nothing to worry about, here. This article will give you more information on the care of the plant:
