Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Calla Lilly
• Soil
• Fertilizer

1. Allow the calla lily tuber to dry out. While the tubers are drying, you can prepare the soil by adding mulch and/or fertilizer. Then, once the shell of the tuber is hardened, you are ready to plant.

2. The tubers should be planted approximately 2 inches deep in the soil. Remember that each calla lily plant will need approximately 1-1.5 feet of growing space, so do not plant them too close together.

3. Finally, thoroughly water the tubers and make sure you keep the surrounding soil moist, but not soaked. Also you will want to make sure the plants get plenty of light, too much shade is not good. Depending on a number of factors, you should expect the flowers to begin to bloom within 60-90 days.
