Planting Directions
<h2>How to Plant and Care for Calla Lily Bulbs</h2> <h3>Planting Instructions</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Timing:</strong> Plant in spring after the last frost when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F.</li> <li><strong>Location:</strong> Choose a sunny to lightly shaded spot with well-draining soil. Too much shade reduces blooming.</li> <li><strong>Soil Preparation:</strong> Mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to ensure it's rich and loose.</li> <li><strong>Planting Depth:</strong> Dig a hole 4 inches deep. Place the bulb with the pointed end up or the side with the eyes facing upward.</li> <li><strong>Spacing:</strong> Space bulbs 4-6 inches apart to give them room to grow.</li> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Water well after planting to settle the soil.</li> </ul> <h3>Care and Maintenance</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, especially during growth and flowering. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before watering again.</li> <li><strong>Fertilizing:</strong> Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.</li> <li><strong>Deadheading:</strong> Remove spent blooms to encourage new flowers and tidy the plant.</li> <li><strong>Winter Care:</strong> In colder climates (zones below 8), dig up the bulbs before the first frost. Store them in a cool, dry place for replanting in spring.</li>
FAQs
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions about Intimate Ivory Calla Lily Bulbs</h2> <ul> <li> <strong>1. Do Intimate Ivory Calla Lilies grow well in containers?</strong><br> Absolutely. These lilies were selected with container gardening in mind. They thrive in pots on patios, decks, or balconies—just be sure the container has good drainage and gets plenty of light. Their upright form and abundant blooms make them perfect for small-space drama. </li> <li> <strong>2. How much sunlight do they need?</strong><br> Calla lilies prefer full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, a little afternoon shade can help protect the blooms and foliage. For container-grown plants, it's easy to shift them to follow the light or provide relief during extreme heat. </li> <li> <strong>3. When and how do I plant the bulbs?</strong><br> Plant calla lily bulbs in spring, once the risk of frost has passed. Position them about 4 inches deep in well-draining soil, spaced 4-6 inches apart. In containers, plant closer for a fuller look. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist—not soggy. </li> <li> <strong>4. Can I use the flowers as cut blooms indoors?</strong><br> Yes, and that’s part of what makes this variety so appealing. The trumpet-shaped blooms are long-lasting in vases, often holding up for up to two weeks. Cut when the flower just opens and place in clean water to enjoy their elegance indoors. </li> <li> <strong>5. Do calla lilies need special care to keep blooming all season?</strong><br> Not at all—these are low-maintenance bloom machines. Just provide regular watering, especially in containers, and feed them with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Remove spent blooms to encourage new ones and keep the plant looking tidy. </li> </ul>
