Therefore, it must be dug out during its dormant period, rinsed and dried, and then stored in the cold room of the refrigerator. Calla lilies must be refrigerated after they go dormant in summer. In the cold room, the temperature can be accurately controlled at about five to seven degrees, which is beneficial to maintaining the bulbs in good condition.

1. Calla lilies need to be dug out after going dormant

The flowering period of calla lilies is usually around February and March every year. After blooming, they will slowly become droopy and the leaves will gradually wither. By the time summer comes, the leaves of the calla lily will have almost fallen off, leaving only the bulbs.

At this time, you need to reduce watering and wait for the pot to grow After the soil is dry, dig out the bulbs. If the bulbs are not taken out and stored at a suitable temperature, the bulbs will have difficulty adapting to the high temperature environment and become damaged due to aging, making it difficult to bloom again. Therefore, after the calla lily goes dormant, it is necessary to dig out its bulbs, especially potted calla lilies, rinse the bulbs, soak them with carbendazim, etc., and then put them in a cool, ventilated place to dry. Then wrap it in soft paper, put it in a carton, and store it in the refrigerator.

2. Calla lily must be refrigerated after dormancy in summer

Cala lilies are warm-loving and suitable for growing in warm environments, but are not resistant to high temperatures. After it goes through the flowering period, its branches and leaves gradually wither, the plant becomes more fragile, and it becomes more sensitive to the outside temperature. Therefore, when the high temperature of summer comes, calla lilies will be even more unbearable. Without refrigeration, curing bulbs will have a hard time surviving the high temperatures common in the summer.

Therefore, after calla lilies go dormant in summer, they need to be stored well and the temperature in the refrigerator should be controlled between five and seven degrees. In this way, after two months, take out the bulb and plant it again, so that it can germinate and grow smoothly and produce beautiful flowers.
