Hi,
We bought some Lilies from you last spring and were delighted with them when they flowered later in the year. This year however the Calla lilies have all produced leaves but of all the bulbs in three different pots we only managed two single flowers ! We lifted the bulbs last winter and replanted them in John Innes No 2, they have been in leaf now for approx two months is there anything we can do to encourage them to flower this year ?
Thank you
Hi Peter
Did you cut the flowers back last year? If it doesn’t have enough stem and foliage to die back and feed the bulbs, then they may not flower as well the following year. I would give them a feed next year as you start to see signs of growth. Try using a high potash fertiliser like a liquid tomato feed.
