…I should just chuck this calla and start over. But LM gave it to me for Christmas (he ordered it from Smith and Hawken, the delivery was a nightmare (I had to meet the FedEx guy in the next town up late one night because it had to be signed for and couldn’t be left at the door…) and it was in BAD shape when we finally got it home (although I wasn’t allowed to actually SEE it, I had to wait until Christmas morning). I have done my best to keep it alive (put it in special soil, ensured it had good drainage, gave it lots of sunlight) but all the leaves except one recently died off. I moved it out to the deck to get all the sunshine it can and still be protected from the wind and rain.
The one last leaf looked to be alive so I tried to be optimistic.
I wouldn’t want to proclaim it resurrected just yet, but suffice it to say, LM is much happier with me now than he was before.
Perhaps this is why my sister has absolutely NO plants in her house and I have, well, I have a lot.
Grow Calla Grow!!

it’s funny – I always feel so accomplished when I can make a plant grow — because, clearly, it’s all my doing 🙂
