After sprouting, move to the shade shed, where there is scattered light for maintenance, be careful not to direct sunlight, and not all shade. In addition to applying base fertilizer before planting, liquid fertilizer is applied every 20 days or so during the growing period. The mature cake fertilizer and water can be used for fertilizer, and the dilute liquid fertilizer mixed with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied every 10 days or so in the peak growing season. When fertilizing, do not pour fertilizer and water into the leaf sheath, so as not to cause rot.

Put the bulb into the bulb with a depth of 3 cm to 4 cm. The planting depth is 10 cm, more than 5 cm and 15 cm deep.

2. Fertilization: applying 20% rotten acquaintance feces or cake fertilizer and water every 15-20 days during the growing period can make the leaves green and luxuriant. After February, 20% rotten chicken manure and other liquid fertilizers with more phosphorus can be applied to promote the germination of flower buds. When applying fertilizer, it should be poured into the petiole to avoid yellow leaves or rot.

3. Watering: calla lilies like to be wet, and can be watered more often. Always keep the basin soil moist, do not make the basin soil dry. You can sprinkle water on the surrounding ground while watering to keep the air moist.

2. Dwarf calla lilies have more ornamental value, which can be done only with a little treatment in maintenance. In summer, when calla lilies enter the dormant period to change pots, sprinkle paclobutrazol with a small amount of fine soil around the plant, 10-15 grams without pot, and then watering is done. In a week or so, your plant will become small and delicate.

It can also be sown and propagated, and the seeds can be sown in pots as soon as the seeds are ripe. The suitable temperature for germination is about 20 ℃.

1. Ramet: when the old leaves withered gradually after flowering from May to June, and when new leaves grew or changed pots in the middle of September, the small tubers around the mother plant were peeled off and put on the pot by stages. It usually blossoms 3 months after planting.

2. Sowing: indoor pot sowing is the main method, and the optimum temperature for germination is 18-24 ℃. After 15-20 days of sowing, the seedlings need to be cultivated for 3-4 years before they can blossom.
