The Zimmercalla - flower with high demand
The Zimmercalla, often written Zimmerkalla, is one of the most beautiful, but not easy to maintain houseplants. Only when location and care are right, Calla will delight flower lovers for many years with their decorative flowers.
The right location for the Zimmercalla
Zimmercalla needs a lot of light, but does not tolerate direct sunlight. In the flower window, she therefore needs some sun protection at noon.
It is even better if you place the plant in the tub or pot on the terrace during the summer. But make sure that it does not get too much bright sun and is a bit sheltered from the wind.
Zimmerkalla in the flower window is often visited by spider mites and aphids. Observe the houseplants carefully so that you can take countermeasures in good time.
Flowering plant with claim
When pouring the Zimmercalla you need a bit of tact. Especially during the flowering season, the earth should never dry out. Regular fertilizer supplies the plant with enough nutrients. It must not be too much fertilizer.
In the rest period after flowering the Calla may not be poured and fertilized. It is then placed cooler and from January back to warmer temperatures and humidity used.
Zimmerkalla is very sensitive to germs and bacteria in the potting soil. You should repot the houseplants every spring in fresh potting soil.
During the break the houseplants gather new strength
Calla grows in their home in South Africa in a location that is very humid at the height of flowering, but very dry during the break.
So that the Zimmerkalla thrives properly, it is important to replicate this change.
The flowering period must be followed by a rest period of at least ten weeks, preferably two months, when the houseplants gather new strength.
Tips & Tricks
Not only as houseplants make Callas a good figure. In the flowerbed, the striking bracts, which surround the flower bulb, provide colored accents in the garden. In winter, however, the tubers must be wintered in the house.
