Cameo Calla — this decorative plant features corn-like inflorescences of warm yellow hue and height of about 60 cm. Its leaves are dark green and tall, and blooming lasts throughout the summer. Planting is done using bulbs, which are planted in the ground in May. The plant prefers sunny locations but does not tolerate scorching midday sun. Soil should be nutrient-rich and well-drained to avoid water stagnation around the roots, as this negatively affects plant development.
Cameo Calla is not frost-tolerant and cannot survive winter outdoors. In indoor conditions or in pots, it can be grown year-round. For early blooming, plantings are started in April in greenhouses, and then the developed flowers are moved outdoors. During winter, containers with the plant are brought indoors, and bulbs are dug up and stored in a dark, cool place, for example, in wood shavings.
Thus, Cameo is an eye-catching and low-maintenance plant that will delight with prolonged and vibrant blooming if proper care and growing conditions are followed. It is suitable for cultivation both outdoors and indoors, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
