Enchanting pond
Want to add some drama to your pond? Try the wetland calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica). The wetland plant has vase-shaped white flowers with a yellow spike. It's simply magical! The aquatic plant is a waterside and marsh plant. We can plant the plant along the edge (bank) of our pond. Or we can plant the plant up to 40 cm deep in the pond. Plant the wetland calla lily in the spring. The flower blossoms in the summer.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water's hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. Plant the aquatic plant in partial shade.
For extra colour along the pond.

Planting
The aquatic plant, White Calla Lily, is best planted in a pond basket. Line the basket with jute and fill the basket with special soil. Plant White Calla Lily in the basket, top up with soil and add a growth ball. Cover everything with the remaining jute and sprinkle with a layer of gravel. Place the basket just below the surface about 0-15 cm deep in the pond. If there are no shallow sides to your pond you can place your basket on a pile of stones. Place this plant in complete sunshine. The best planting time is between May and June.
White Calla Lily is excellent as a solitary plant
The stunning White Calla Lily is most suitable planted as a solitary plant. It makes a great pond plant, but can also grow in moist soil and even be placed in a large tub on the patio as long as the soil never dries out. The exotic appearance of this plant is a great addition to a tropical garden.
Care
Cut off its dead leaves in autumn and remove them from the pond. Yearly, in the spring you can add a growth ball to the pond basket. If the clump grows too large by May, you can take the White Calla Lily out of the pond. Divide the clump into smaller pieces and plant only one piece back inside the pond.
The White Calla Lily is not frost tolerant
The roots of the White Calla Lily do not tolerate frost so do protect the roots against the deepest of frosts. The basket can be planted deeper in marshy conditions to keep it well under frost level. Or stand it in a barrel filled with water in a frost-free area.
If your Zantedeschia is in a pot, store it frost free and do not let the soil dry out completely. If the room is very cool (below 10 degrees Centigrade) the plant will lose its leaves - the pot can then be stored in the dark. If stored on a windowsill it will continue to grow and can even flower again!
