Light Required
This indoor plant grows best in a sunny spot near a window or glass door that gets at least 4 to 6 hours of bright indirect sunlight a day. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves and flowers, causing them to turn yellow.

Watering
Calla Lilies like to grow in moist well draining soil. It is important to find a happy balance. The soil should be kept damp but never get waterlogged. A good rule of thumb is to water them once or twice a week especially when the top 5 to 10 cm of soil is dry to the touch. Overwatering can cause the flower heads and leaves to droop but can also lead to root rot.

Best Growing Conditions
They do well in normal room temperatures but do not like to be close to heating or vents that have more fluctuations in temperature. Misting them occasionally can go a long way in keeping them happy.
