How to plant Zantedeschia
Plant your bulbs so that the pointed tip is slightly above soil level. Water thoroughly to settle your bulbs into place.
How to care for Zantedeschia
Care will depend on whether you have a hardy or tender variety. For hardy varieties, they should be watered freely during summer, keeping soil cool and moist in periods of drought. You may wish to feed every 2 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser to increase blooms and foliage quality. Provide an annual mulch in autumn with well-rotted compost. For tender varieties, feed fortnightly when the foliage is in active growth, refraining from further feed when the plants are in flower. Water when the soil becomes dry to the touch.
