Cali lilies


Question
I received a huge plant of cala lilies, I can't seem to keep them perked up.  I live on Long Island, and was wondering if I should keep them out during the summer?
When should I bring them in if I do?  

Answer
Hi Lenora,
Thanx for your question.  I absolutely recommend that you give your calla lilies a summer vacation.  Now that there is no danger of frost in your area, place the pot in the shade for about 7 days and then move it to full sun.  You'll have to water frequently in the summer as the pot will dry out quickly.  Give it a feeding of bone meal now and then later on in the summer.  This should make your plant look nice.  I hope this helps.
Tom
