Calla Lily & Peace Lily Care: Water, Light & Repotting

Calla Lily (Zantedeschia)

• Hard to overwater in original pot—keep soil moist, not soggy.
• South window is good.
• Flowers last 6–8 weeks; then foliage feeds bulb for dormancy.
• Don't repot unless rootbound.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

• Sporadic bloomer—hybrids forced for sale bloom heavily once.
• Keep potbound for best flowering.
• Bright indirect light + monthly half-strength fertilizer.
• No repotting needed if crowded.

Both prefer consistent moisture and bright light.
