Know before you buy
This plant requires high, bright light to maintain its vibrant coloration and encourage consistent flowering. A spot near a south or west-facing window is ideal to ensure it receives enough intensity throughout the day.
No, the Blood Orange Calla Lily is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat if ingested by cats or dogs.
This plant has high water requirements and is not drought-tolerant. You should keep the soil consistently moist, ensuring it never dries out completely between waterings.
While it is capable of flowering year-round, it thrives best in temperatures between 50 and 75°F. If you notice a decline in growth, it may benefit from a brief rest period in a cooler, slightly drier environment.
You should plan to repot your Calla Lily every two years. Use a well-draining potting mix amended with perlite to ensure the roots have proper aeration and to prevent waterlogging.
It can be grown outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 10. If you live in a colder climate, it is best kept as a houseplant or moved indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F.
