The plants that I am going to talk to you about today are in high demand as cut flowers, especially to create beautiful bridal bouquets or banquet tables due to the pleasant perfume that they give off. But, in addition, they are extraordinary candidates to have in those corners where the sun's rays do not touch the surface of the ground directly, or to use as a »filling plant», that is, to plant in empty areas where we want to give it color. .
Do not wait any longer and decorate your garden with calla lilies. You will not regret.
The calla lilies that we currently find on the market, although many of them are cultivars, they all belong to the same genus: Zantedeschia. They are bulbous plants that are planted in the fall and begin to bloom in the spring. Your need for water is high, so if you have a pond you can put its edge: You'll see how beautiful it gets! And in a very short time.
Also, if you don't have a garden too you can have it in a pot. You can put a thin layer of volcanic clay inside, and use universal substrate. It is recommended that it be enriched with some type of compost -preferably ecological such as guano or worm castings-, but it is not essential. The cove is a very resistant plant and not demanding at all. So much so that you need very little to be able to look splendid.
The ideal location, as we said before, It will be the one in which it is protected from direct sunlight otherwise its leaves could suffer. If you live in a temperate climate, without extreme temperatures, you can have it in full sun. For the same reason, it should be kept indoors if the thermometer drops below four degrees. But if that happens in your area, don't worry: can live indoors provided there is plenty of natural light.
No known pests or diseases, except snails and rarely aphids. Use a molschicide or manually capture the first ones, and keep your Cala moist to prevent the second ones from appearing (it detests high humidity in the environment).
Enjoy it!
