Why Mushy Calla Lily Bulbs Can't Be Saved

Mushy Tubers = Dead Tubers

Mushiness indicates bacterial rot or fungal infection. They do not recover.

Proper Dormancy Storage (for future reference)

  1. After flowering, remove tubers from pot.
  2. Gently shake off soil.
  3. Store in dry peat moss for 4–6 weeks.
  4. Keep cool, dry, and dark.

Realistic Expectation

Most modern calla lilies are hybrids that bloom spectacularly once, then poorly thereafter. Even with perfect storage, rebloom is often disappointing.
