i live in new york...can't leave the lily outside...so it's in a pot that i move in and out of the house seasonally...it doesn't fit through the doorways and the leaf stalks have to lean on something to stay up! what can i do with this plant? it belongs in a jungle setting! anybody have an idea?

I keep stuff like that in my bathroom:-) Maybe you can brace the leaves with stakes. Or perhaps it's time to let this beast go dormant and divide?

Seems like I remember that Plant Delights has an 8-9 foot calla lily in their catalog.
