Potted Calla Lily Care: Light, Water, Dormancy, Rebloom

Keep potted callas thriving year-round:

Active Growth

• Full sun (west window or outdoors post-frost).
• Even moisture – never bone dry, never soggy. Water when slightly moist.
• Fertilize – Miracle-Gro every watering.
• Tight pot – only repot when soil won't hold water.

Dormancy (Optional but Stronger)

1. After bloom: cut foliage, stop watering.
2. Dark, cool (45–50°F) 8+ weeks.
3. Spring: light, water, feed → rebloom late spring.

Division

Split rhizomes with sharp knife between shoots; repot separately.

Forced greenhouse blooms won't rebloom same year—plan for next cycle.
