How many flowers does ONE CALLA LILY normally produce?
Question:And how BIG does this gorgeous plant get in full maturity??
And what type of soil does the calla prefer?
I have prepped the top soil mixed with a little sand already, dug up the lousy weeds,ect
Answers:
Calla lilies are wonderful, I cant say just how many blooms you may have, but they like very well drained sandy soil, but they do need water. I live in VA here it freezes in the winter, if it does where you are, then you must dig up in the fall, when the leaves die, and turn brown, I dig up the bulb, put them in a brown lunch bag. on top of the refrigerator so that the dry out hard as a rock. then I put away until early spring, i plant inside, before frost and then put out after the last chance of frost. The good thing is each year the one bulb produces smaller "bulbletts" that I can plant that way one bulb will reproduce over and over and over
Good luck
u shouldn't call lily a cow since she is giving birth soon. and if it's twins, I would have to place my bet at 2. X-)
i believe it is a shoot with bell like flowers on it there will be more then 1 bloom, i would put some kind of fertilizer in with it.
