Botanical Name: Zantedeschia aethiopica (commonly known as Calla Lily)
Description: The White Calla Lily, scientifically known as Zantedeschia aethiopica, is a striking and elegant flowering plant known for its pristine white, trumpet-shaped blooms. The flowers consist of a central spadix surrounded by a large, flat, white spathe that resembles a modified leaf. The long, smooth stems add to the graceful appearance of the plant.
Usage: White Calla Lilies are popular choices for various floral arrangements, weddings, and garden displays. Their classic and timeless beauty makes them suitable for both formal and informal settings. The flowers are often used in bouquets, centerpieces, and garden borders.
Indoor/Outdoor: While Calla Lilies can be grown outdoors in suitable climates, they are often cultivated as potted plants indoors or in containers on patios. They require well-draining soil and thrive in locations with bright, indirect light. When grown outdoors, they prefer partial shade.
How to Take Care of It:
Soil: Use well-draining, rich soil.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for indoor plants. Outdoors, partial shade is preferred.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again.
Temperature: Calla Lilies prefer moderate temperatures and can be sensitive to extreme heat.
Best Season: Calla Lilies can bloom from late spring to early summer, depending on the growing conditions. With proper care, they can continue to produce their beautiful white blooms during their flowering season. After flowering, allow the plant to rest and reduce watering until new growth begins.
