leaves of my calla lilies turn yellow

I keep two Calla lily plants on my deck in Charleston, South Carolina. They receive indirect sunlight and I water them 2x a week. The tip of the leaves are turning yellowish/brown and dying. What can I do to help them?

Yellowing leaves generally indicates a watering issue. Either to much or to little.

Container plants generally need daily water and if temperatures are above 85 degrees, twice daily.

Check the soil moisture and make sure it is damp but not soggy. Check the drainage to make sure that excess water is draining from the pot.

Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.
