Koala flowers (calla) have long been associated with such an event as a wedding. Today they are more popular than ever. They look great in pots, outdoors and cut. Koalas, house flowers, have low maintenance requirements. If you want to grow calla lilies in your garden, it is best to do so from a bulb that has fleshy roots (rhizome). Or a less expensive option is to grow the plant from seed.
First of all, you need to prepare them for landing. Place several layers of wet wipes on a saucer. Spread light calla seeds on it and cover them with another damp layer of cloth. Place the dish in a dark, cool place. Check the cloth for moisture, but don't let the cloth get too wet to prevent the seeds from starting to rot. After a few days, the seeds begin to germinate, if for some reason some do not germinate, discard them.
Then fill small pots with earth forflowering plants and plant seeds at the rate of two seeds per pot not too deep. Place the pots in a warm spot with diffused sunlight. It is necessary to water very carefully and in small quantities (to avoid rotting of seeds). If the soil is too dry on top, spray water through a spray bottle to keep the seeds moist, not soggy. Sprouts appear in a week, or even a month. When the seedlings have risen, you need to inspect them and discard the weak ones in each pot. In the process of development, seedlings, like an adult flower, need warmth, moisture and sun.
When it's time for a transplant, you have two options. Plant them in a garden or grow them in a pot, they will take root well and will grow in any case.
The koala home flower grows well in large pots that give the rhizomes enough room to develop. The plant needs good drainage and watering - callas love water. Also, do not forget about fertilizer to provide them with the necessary nutrients.
You can also plant your calla directly in the garden. Choose a sunny location and water the seedlings well until they become established plants.
