Culture methods of calla lilies

1. Soil selection of calla lily culture

Calla lilies should be planted in clay pots and purple sand basins with a diameter of 30-40 cm. They like to grow in deep, fertile and loose slightly acidic sandy loam. Rotten leaf soil, vegetable garden soil and fine sand can be mixed into culture soil at the ratio of 6:3:1.

two。 Fertilization method of calla lily culture

Calla lilies like fertilizer, from long leaves to calla lilies before flowering, thin fertilizer should be applied frequently, applying nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium compound liquid or granular fertilizer every 10 days or so. When fertilizing, you should be careful not to drop liquid fertilizer on the leaves so as not to cause rot; do not apply nitrogen fertilizer alone to prevent more leaves and less flowers or no flowers. The application of ferrous sulfate can make the leaves bigger, thicker, green, smooth and glossy, and the petiole is not easy to grow, so as to ensure the beauty of the leaves, promote the formation of buds and prolong the flowering period. The specific method is to dilute ferrous sulfate into a 7% solution and pour it once every one month, each time thoroughly.

3. Watering method of calla lotus culture

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, 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.

4. Temperature requirements for calla lilies culture

The suitable temperature for calla lily growth was 15 ~ 25 ℃. When the temperature was below 10 ℃, the flowering stage was delayed, the growth was stagnated below 5 ℃, and 0 ℃ may cause death. In spring, the lowest temperature should be stable at 10 ℃.

5. Light requirements of calla lily culture

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.
