Calla Lily Care: Enhance the Beauty of Your Bouquets
With their elegant trumpet shape and striking colours, Calla Lilies (sometimes called Arum Lilies) add a touch of sophistication to any arrangement. Here's how to ensure these majestic blooms last.
Caring for Your Cut Calla Lilies
- The Right Vase: Calla Lilies have thicker stems, so choose a vase with a wider mouth and sturdy base for support.
- Cleanliness Counts: A pristine vase is essential to prevent bacteria that can shorten the lifespan of your blooms.
- Fresh Angles: Cut an inch off the stems at an angle to maximise water intake.
- Cool Water: Unlike many flowers, Calla Lilies prefer cool water. Fill the vase with cool water and change it every other day.
- Avoid the Pollen: The yellow centre of Calla Lilies contains pollen that can stain fabrics. Consider gently removing it with clean scissors.
- Strategic Placement: Place your vase away from drafts, direct sunlight, and heat sources to prevent wilting.
Interesting Facts about Calla Lilies
- Symbolism: Calla lilies represent purity, holiness, and faith, making them popular for weddings and religious ceremonies.
- Not True Lilies: Despite their name, Calla Lilies are not true lilies but belong to the Araceae family.
- Rich History: These elegant flowers have been depicted in artwork for centuries and were prized in Ancient Egypt.
