Worth knowing about calla flower bulbs
Many calla varieties grow from flower bulbs. They can be planted both in the pot in the flower window and in the garden bed. Hardy are only the fewest, so they must be wintered in the house. What you should know about the bulbs of Calla.
So plant room calla from onions in the pot
Put the flower bulb in the pot so deep that the tip just barely peeks out.
Even if the pot is still good enough for the onion, you should always repot Calla in the spring to prevent diseases and pests.
Plant Calla in the garden
The onions are only planted in the field when the ice saints are over at the end of May.
Dig holes that are large enough for the onion to be about five to seven centimeters deep. Make sure that the pointed end points upwards when planting.
Garden Calla blooms earlier if you prefer the onions in the pot as early as March. From May, the plant is planted in the flowerbed.
Store Calla onions properly
Calla bulbs must be dug out of the flowerbed in October, as most varieties are not winter proof.
Free the onions of soil and remaining leaves and let them dry well.
Store in a cool, dark place ideally at ten degrees. Do not place the tubers too close to allow the air to circulate.
Hibernate onions in a pot
Zimmercalla also winters well in the pot. Let the soil dry out completely and place it in a cool, bright place.
You are not allowed to water and fertilize during the winter break.
Calla on onions multiply
Like all flower bulbs, the bulbs of Calla form small secondary bulbs during the growing season. These can simply be tapped after excavation.
After the winter break, you can pull new Calla plants from the bulbs and cultivate them in the garden or in the flower window.
Tips & Tricks
Some Calla varieties have no onions but grow from rhizomes. These varieties can be propagated by dividing the root. In the care, the species differ only in the wintering.
