Care Instructions
The Spotted Calla Lily thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires a humid environment and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.Soil
Zantedeschia albomaculata prefers well-draining loam soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil, peat, and perlite works well. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormancy period.Repotting
Repot the Spotted Calla Lily every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins. Use fresh, well-draining soil and a slightly larger pot to accommodate growth.Propagation
Propagate Zantedeschia albomaculata by dividing the tubers during the dormancy period. Carefully separate the tubers and plant them in individual pots with fresh soil. Keep the newly potted tubers in a warm, humid environment until they establish new growth.Pruning
Prune the plant to remove dead or yellowing leaves and spent flowers. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and encourages new growth. Pruning is best done during the growing season.Toxicity
Zantedeschia albomaculata is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation, swelling, and difficulty breathing if consumed. Handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
