I am in zone 4, and this year I planted a bunch of calla bulbs (Zantedeschia albomaculata) in a pot outside, because I knew they'd have to be lifted or moved. So, I'm prepared to do that. But how soon do I need to move them, and where should I put them? I have a 3 season porch, as well as a garage. I could also just move them indoors, as they're in a pretty pot. What would you recommend? Will I need to water them regularly, or just leave the pot be until spring? This is my first attempt at callas. :)
Question on Calla (albomaculata) bulbs
Water and fertilize until the leaves start to turn yellow, then stop watering. They must go dormant. When the leaves are gone, dig them and store them (in a paper bag in newspaper shreds or something dry) in your garage (if it doesn't freeze, 50 degrees is ideal but 40-65 will do.) Store until it is not freezing outdoors and replant with some compost in the hole.
Hope this was what you needed,
K. James
