When people buy flower bulbs, they are particularly afraid that they will degrade to the point where they can no longer be planted in the second year. Some florists ask how many years they can keep colorful calla lilies. In fact, if florists don’t mind less blooming, they can keep them. Many years, because colorful calla lilies are perennials.

If you pursue normal flowering, generally speaking, colorful calla lilies can be cultivated for 3-4 years under normal circumstances. There will also be degradation at this stage, but it is relatively acceptable. The longer the planting time, the more degradation will occur. The disease will become more serious, so generally speaking, our colored calla lilies are planted for about 3-4 years.

For calla lilies, if we want the flowers to bloom well, fertilization is indispensable. Fertilization must be done during the growth period so that the bulbs can be strong and conducive to flowering next year.

Let’s talk about how to deal with calla lilies in their dormant period. There are generally two methods, one is to pill and the other is not to pill.

No balling: When the calla lily enters the dormant period (after the leaves have naturally withered), cut off all the stems and leaves, dry the soil, and then place the pot in a cool place indoors until September. Dig out the lower bulbs and replant them.

Pilling: After the leaves have died naturally and the pot soil is completely dry, dig out the seed bulbs from the pot and wrap them thickly in newspapers. , put it in a carton and put it in the cold room of the refrigerator, as long as the temperature is maintained at 7-9 degrees. In this case, as long as it is stored for two months, you can take the ball out of the refrigerator and let it cool down at the natural temperature indoors. Leave it aside for a few days to let the bulbs naturally release dormancy, and then you can plant them again. The safest way is to wait until the bud eyes of the bulbs come out a little before planting. After 60 days, you can see the flowers again.
