Why Do My Calla Lilies Lay Down

Question

I planted my potted calla lilies in a flower bed but some of the flower stems are laying flat. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

Make sure the plants are getting plenty of sun. If a plant doesn’t get enough of its required light then it develops weak, elongated stem that tends to flop over. Another factor is too much nitrogen, which will produce weak elongated stems and leaves.
