I received a calla lily in a 6-in pot. I want to grow it indoors only. How can I take care of it?

I got a calla lily from a local store and want to keep the plant indoors. Growing it outside isn%26#039;t an option because my house is surrounded by pine trees and I will be moving out of my house soon. It%26#039;s also too cold to leave outside right now (I live in Louisiana). What should I do to keep my plant happy and producing flowers - it%26#039;s got some flowers right now?

With a good grow light and lots of care this can be done. There are two types of grow lights; one for foliage and one for flowering. Be sure and use one for flowering. Here is the info you need.

Reply:They belong outside. Inside they will not have enough light and they are vulnerable to fungus gnats and mealy bugs. With insufficient light, the foliage will get very soft and lanky. Until it warms up outside, give it as much light as possible, and keep the soil just moist, but never soggy. Bloom is dependent upon the plant getting as much light as possible.





You can certainly keep one inside for a few weeks to enjoy the flowers until it warms up outside, and they grow quite happily in pots-so that you can take the pot with you when you move. Put it in the sunniest place in the yard until you move. Callas love high humidity, so Louisiana is a good place for them to be.
Reply:canna lily is a outdoor plant, for indoors you will need the Madonna Lily
