After flowering, as the temperature rises, the plant gradually enters the dormant period. At this time, watering should be stopped or water should be stopped as much as possible. The pot should be moved into the shade (the rainy season should be poured out in time), or the plants should be stopped and watered. Ventilation in a cool, dry place. Calla lily is not cold-tolerant.
