By adding one ingredient to your calla lily plant, you can save a lot of money: just use that one ingredient.
In our homes, we often tend to have plants on balconies, but also inside our rooms as an ornament for spaces to share with others or even just for our own pleasure. Many of these, in addition to giving off a pleasant aroma , are very useful as they tend to absorb the humidity present in our homes and therefore prevent mold and condensation from forming.
Calla: characteristics and curiosities
In addition, keeping vigorous flowering plants on or near our balconies helps encourage pollination by insects that can come to visit us and help the planet.
There are many plants that are bought for domestic use, among the most common are hydrangeas , mother-in-law’s tongue, pothos and calla lily which is characterized by having large triangular leaves and is very easy to grow. This plant has a flower that can also bloom in pots, giving life to one of the most beautiful and well-known plants and is an evergreen plant, its name means beautiful, derived from the Greek term kalòs. Its flower is called Lily of the Nile because it grows around water currents that are present on the coasts of South African rivers and especially in the region of Egypt .
Always considered an elegant and refined plant, its flowers can last for many weeks even once cut and placed inside a vase , changing the water daily. The leaves are robust and resistant and tend to have a waxy appearance, as well as the flower that encloses the spadix inside it that resembles an ear due to its shape.
Strong and vigorous call: the ingredient to use
Calla lilies can also give life to colorful flowers that bloom around May-June until September, while the bulbs go on sale between the beginning of September and the end of December. To get this plant to grow vigorously, it is advisable to water it daily, but not everyone knows that there is a special ingredient to make it stronger and brighter. It is rice water , which when placed in the soil tends to make the plant strong and solid and when this ingredient is passed through the leaves it will tend to maintain their waxy appearance and prevent yellowing .
To use it, just soak the rice for a while until all the starch is released. Then drain the rice by putting the water inside a container. Depending on the use, we can insert water directly into the soil or into a spray bottle to be able to wash and make the leaves of our calla lily shiny and bright, making our neighbors envious. This method can also be used for other types of plants of the same type, but it is always better to consult an expert or find out if rice water is useful for the plant we have thought of using it on.
