How to water Calla Lily

1. Observe the leaves : If the leaves of Calla Lily become soft and droop, the young plants hang their heads, the leaves have no luster, and feel dry to the touch, then it is an obvious sign of water shortage and water should be applied immediately.

2. Insert toothpicks : First insert a few small toothpicks in the soil. When the surface of the potting soil is relatively dry, pull out the small toothpicks to see if the inside of the soil is still very dry. If there is no extra soil on the toothpicks, we should add water in time.

Notes on watering calla lilies

1. Keep moist : No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, you should try to keep the soil moist, but no water accumulation should be allowed, otherwise the roots will rot.

2. Water control : Generally, before the Cold Dew Festival in October, move the calla lily indoors, control watering, and keep the room temperature not lower than 10°C. Wash the leaves once a week with shallow water close to room temperature to keep the leaves fresh and green.

What to do if you overwater your calla lily

If Calla lilies are watered too much, they will usually show symptoms such as yellow leaves and rotten roots. You should loosen the soil as soon as possible and move the plant to a warm, well-ventilated place for maintenance to encourage the water to evaporate as quickly as possible and allow the plant to resume growth as soon as possible.
