Living environment

The red calla lily is not cold-tolerant and prefers a warm climate. The winter temperature should not be lower than 15℃. It should have sufficient sunshine, good light and many flowers. It tolerates fertilizer, loves water, has moist soil and high air humidity.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have high temperatures in summer and often have dormant habits.

Propagation methods

Commonly used Propagation by division and sowing. After flowering to mid-September, remove the small tubers around the mother plant and plant them separately.

Sow seeds in pots indoors and germinate 15-20 days after sowing. It takes 3-4 years for seedlings to bloom.

Cultivation method

Open field For planting, choose a location with sufficient sunlight, fertile soil, and good water retention properties. Generally planted in the open field or in pots, they bloom 3 months after planting.

Cut flower cultivation (picking after flowering), 3 months after planting in winter, and 60-70 days after planting in summer. During the growth period, keep the soil moist and spray water frequently to keep the air humidity high, which is beneficial to leaf growth. During the high temperature period in summer, the tubers are in a semi-dormant state, so watering should be controlled.

Pest and Disease Control

Red Calla lily tubers are susceptible to rot during the dormant period or during storage. You can spray 1000 times of the antibacterial agent 401 acetic acid solution on the surface of the tubers and dry them for storage.

Insect-infested spider mites should be sprayed with 50% dicofol 1000 times, and thrips should be killed with 2.5% deltamethrin EC 4000 times.
