This area changes from being wet and swampy in one season to being as dry as the steppes in another. The Calla Lily is a plant that is accustomed to having unlimited water during its growing period while the tuber almost completely dries out during the dry season. Soil should be loose, but nourishing. Bear in mind that this is a swamp plant that needs to be well fed during its entire growth period. Wait until March or April before starting the plant. If weather conditions allow, it will bloom from June to August. Once the flower and leaves have withered, dig or take up the tuber for its dormant period before it starts its whole cycle again in the spring. Store the tubers in loose peat at about 42½ - 46½ F.   indoor care information   light: High light   fertilizer: None while in bloom   temp: 50½ - 70½ F   wateringMoist, not wet
