Points for attention in culturing calla lilies

1. Pruning essentials:

Calla lily is a perennial herb that can blossom many times in a year. Cutting off the old leaves frequently can make them blossom many times.

2. Replacement of basin soil:

Calla lilies in late June to early August, combined with changing pots, the well-developed large ramets with roots were broken by hand (preferably without a knife) and planted in a prepared basin. If it is used as a cut flower, 2 or 3 more ramets can be planted and placed in a cool place. Using this method to propagate, it can blossom from September to October of that year.

3. Watering points:

Calla lilies are said to be "immortal calla lilies". Because they like a warm and humid environment and are not resistant to drought, the potted soil should be kept moist and should not be short of water. If the environment is dry, spray water to the ground and keep a small moist environment. It should be fully watered during the growth and flowering period. Keep the basin soil moist, but reduce the amount of water after flowering to facilitate dormancy.

4. The use of ferrous sulfate:

In potted calla, the application of ferrous sulfate is an important part of the experiment. The application of ferrous sulfate can make the leaves of calla lilies bigger, thicker, green, smooth and shiny, and the petiole is not easy to elongate, so as to ensure the beauty of the leaves. At the same time, it can promote the formation of buds and prolong the florescence. The specific method is to dilute ferrous sulfate into a 2% solution and pour it once every one month, each time thoroughly.

5. Pest control:

The tuber of Zantedeschia horseshoe is prone to rot during dormancy or storage. 1000-fold solution of acetic acid solution can be used to spray the surface of tuber and store it after drying. The pests were harmed by red spiders and thrips, which were sprayed with 1000 times of 50% ethyl acaryl alcohol and 4000 times of 2.5% deltamethrin EC, respectively.

Understand the culture methods and matters needing attention of calla lilies. Let's find out where to put calla lilies.

Matters needing attention in culturing colorful calla lilies 1. Cover with soil:

The whisker roots of colored calla lilies grow at the leaf base, and if the soil cover is not deep enough, it is easy for the roots to grow out of the soil and die of dehydration, so it is common to grow colored calla lilies and cover the soil with at least one seed ball depth. However, colored calla lilies are afraid of waterlogging, and if the ball is buried too deep, it is easy to control the moisture and cause rotten balls, so it is recommended that flower friends cover the soil by about four centimeters. If the roots are found to grow out of the soil in the later stage, add some soil to cover the roots. If the soil cover is too shallow, it will cause the roots to grow out of the soil, so just add some more soil at this time.

2. Compound flowers:

The natural flowering of colored calla lilies is in spring, but it can be planted in four seasons as long as the temperature is right. It will blossom a little faster in spring because of suitable temperature (usually blossom 1-2 months after planting bulbs) and lower temperature in autumn. Flowering will be delayed for a period of time (2-3 months after planting).

The colorful calla lilies planted in autumn will blossom in winter, cut off the scape after the flowers are withered, water them normally and replenish fertilizers properly, until the leaves are gradually withered and yellow, and control water after withering, and enter the dormancy period after withering completely. At this time, stop water and fertilizer. After the pot soil is dry, the bulbs can be dug up, the bulbs can be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, or they can be stored directly in the soil, and they can germinate again next spring. It is recommended to keep the pilling so that the budding of the bud can be observed in spring and can be planted and watered immediately after the budding is found.

Due to the high winter temperature in South China, calla lilies may not be dormant, but can be forced to dormancy by controlling water and cutting off water, which is beneficial to the effect of compound flowers.

The above is about the breeding methods and matters needing attention of colored calla lilies. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of colored calla lilies.

How to cultivate calla lilies to cultivate calla lilies

If you want to raise a good plant, you need to be careful, and so do calla lilies. Only in this way can you raise very beautiful calla lilies. Let's take a look at how to raise calla lilies and the matters needing attention.

We have to first determine the conservation environment. Calla is a sturdy perennial herb of the genus Calla of the Araceae, which is similar to Di Shui Guanyin. It also likes warm, moist and sunny environments, and is not resistant to cold and drought.

Calla lotus normal growth temperature is 15 ℃-25 ℃, too high or too low temperature will make it dormant, so we should pay attention to temperature control in the daily maintenance process, of course, is not so strict, but do not frostbite. Let's talk about soil, calla lilies we use sand to raise the best, usually maintain the soil tide on it, without stagnant water. Of course, it can also be replaced by other media, as long as it has a certain degree of air permeability and water permeability, and pay attention to control the water content at ordinary times.

Calla lilies like to be moist, and should be often watered after long leaves from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the following spring. It is better to keep the basin soil moist and not waterlogged (stagnant water), and often spray water on the leaf surface and nearby ground to increase air humidity and facilitate its growth. However, no matter spraying water or spraying water, we should avoid spraying water on the flowers and prevent the water from flowing to the center of the leaves, otherwise it will easily lead to leaf soft rot. Spray with water close to room temperature in winter. In late May, the amount of water should be reduced to make it dormant, stop watering after the leaves are yellow, and put calla lilies in a cool and ventilated place where there is no rain.

Calla lilies are sunny, like long light, and avoid strong light. From the long leaves of the Mid-Autumn Festival to the flowering in winter and spring, there should be more sunshine, especially after moving into the shed in winter, full light should be given to maintain more than 10 ℃. New Year's Day began to bud before the Spring Festival and reached full flowering in March-April. Lack of light in winter, the florescence is delayed, or only the bud does not blossom, or even the bud gradually turns green and shriveled. Move to a ventilated and cool place in late May. The summer high temperature period is its dormant period, reduce watering and fertilization, and need proper shade when the sun is strong.

When calla is propagated, we can choose ramet or bulb propagation, plant reproduction, dig up the tuber of the strong mother plant after the main flowering period or dormancy period, and cut a clump into 2-3 clumps according to the size of the original tuber and the number of bud points, each clump with 2-3 bud points, planted separately, managed normally, and can bloom after 3 months. Molecular balls propagate and dig up the dormant tubers. After normal ramet, some smaller tubers will be cut off. These small tubers need to be cultivated in the open field for 1 or 2 years before they can be used as flowering bulbs.

In order to raise calla lilies well, we need to pay attention to several basic points, such as environment, soil, fertilizer, watering and so on.
