Why does my miniature calla lilly in planter have burnt brown leaves?
Question:The branches appear green but new leaves seem to die quickly.
Answers:
All bulbs need a cooling period of 10-14 weeks during the late fall and winter. Put the container in your garage if you live in a very cold place (gets below 30 degrees during the winter) but wherever you put it it must have a steady temperature below 50 degrees. Keep it and the soil dry - humidity during the winter is bad, and can make the bulb moldy and die. After three months of these cool temperatures, you can return your bulb and it's container Add some bulb fertilizer or something approximating 10-15-10 (your local hardware store or even your large grocery store will have some) and start watering (not overwatering!) on an infrequent basis until the greens pop back up from the soil. Then continue to take care of it like you have been. This will happen every year!
I believe calalilys are a spring plant, this is when they are most vibrant. The summer heat will cause this to happen. All you can do is keep them trimmed and wait til next spring.
probably to hot for them
