Did an experiment with Calla Green Goddess. I have to share the bragging rights, because I have a flower coming up. I know it's more than one post, but wanted to share what I did, and how well it worked.

1) Found 2 tubers the same size (about 3.5" diameter) Thanks Dori, great bulbs!

2) Planted Plant no. 1 in 2-gallon nursery pot with miracle grow potting soil

3) planted plant no. 2 in cut off 2-liter coke bottle.

Watered both.....kept them moist, did let them get a little cold weather.

Brought Plant no. 2 indoors January 3rd, 2" of growth, 4 sprouts at that time.

Brought Plant no. 1 indoors January 7th, 1" growth, 4 sprouts...lots of cold burn...I made mistake, but seems to be recovering...

Here is where we stand today: Here is plant no. 2, rootbound, stays moist at all times, but I need to get her more light.....she's already sending out bud.

Here's a picture of Plant no. 2, she is really root-bound, and a bit leggy, but a beaut still.
