The Purple Calla Lily is a stunning plant both indoors and outdoors. This is a moderately fast grower with the ability to produce blooms all summer long. As a native to Africa, this plant grows well in tropical conditions. It prefers high humidity and temperatures, making it a great houseplant. It can grow up to 2-3 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide.  

Best Locations For Growing Purple Calla Lily 

Growing Calla Lilies indoors is a great option for those of us not located in hardiness zones 8-10. Surprisingly easy to grow, Purple Calla Lilies are great container plants. Place this potted plant near a bright window in your kitchen or living room, or use it to add drama to your cut-flower arrangements. Make sure to keep these toxic plants away from pets and children.  

Purple Calla Lily Sunlight Requirements

Provide this plant with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Placing it near an east- or west-facing window would be perfect, or near a south window at a distance of a few feet. 

Purple Calla Lily Care

The Purple Calla Lily prefers a porous, well-draining soil. When they are planted in containers, use high-quality, all-purpose potting soil. Calla Lilies like their soil to be kept moist, but not soggy. For this plant, provide plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. 

Watering Purple Calla Lily 

Purple Calla Lily should only be watered when the first few inches of soil are dry. These plants dislike being too soggy. Check the soil about once a week to see if it needs watering. 

Feeding Purple Calla Lily 

Upon planting, apply any well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer. In fertile soil that’s rich in organic matter, no other fertilizer is necessary. Too much nitrogen-rich plant food will encourage plenty of foliage growth at the expense of flowering. Avoid choosing a blend that is nitrogen heavy.
