These are my girlfriend‘s favorite flowers. And I wanted to get one for her but I thought it would mean something more if I planted it for her. Will it be hard to find the seeds? And to plant? Please help. I love her and want to do this for her. How long will it take to grow?Thanks!
This Site Might Help You. RE: where can i get vermiculite? ok im getting into growing bonsai trees and i need to find vermiculite does any one know of stores that carry it?
This is not a good time to find it. Walmart carries it in the spring and early summer. Now, you would probably need to go to a garden Center and pay the big bucks for it.
I get mine at the local Walmart and Zellers stores and I've seen it at he local grocery store too. It comes in bags of various sizes. It's excellent for lightening the soil. Good Growing!
Caring for your Calla Lily depends on where you live, or what hardiness zone you're in. The calla lily is not hardy in many zones, and will die in the winter if it isn't dug up and stored in the winter. The coolest temp it will live through is 50-55 degrees F. It should be dug when the leaves turn yellow or when foliage is damaged by frost. Store the rhizome (root thing) in sphagnum peat moss or vermiculite in a cool dark place.if you move or re-pot or split the callas they die back, not dying, but only to rid of shocked leaves. They quickly grow back. Health and new. All during the winter, I had healthy tall leaves. In the White calla garden, when spring hits, I had flowers galore. They seem to only last till the hot sun comes, around June. Always cutting the old leaves and ugly flowers, makes the calla's look fresh. That also help the growth of new flower and leaves. After the spring flowers have opened, you'll have leaves falling, and new ones coming up from under. Cut the old ones back. Leaving any flowers and new leaves. The bulbs under the ground are multiplying. So you will have more next year. I have my white callas in full sun. They really love it. I water every day, keeping the Ground moist, but not wet. Now the pink callas I have in a pot, and they Hate the sun. They were dormant during the winter. The leaves died back. When spring came, I gave the pot some full sun to boost it, into growing. As soon as the flowers came up, I moved it to the shade. I'll have double the flowers next year. I have the bulbs in a pot with Asian Lilly's. There happy being watered daily, but not wet. The black callas were here when I moved in my house three years ago. There in the shade, and grow close to the Ground. Only 8 inches high. Spreading just like a bulb. I've had two flowers in three years. I think that's why the are $44.00 a bulb. its a good idea to get plants that have already sprouted because you could get a dud and the you just wasted money
