• Watering Wisdom: These Calla Lilies love consistent moisture, especially during their active growing and flowering periods. Keep the soil evenly moist, but never waterlogged. Reduce watering once the foliage starts to yellow, indicating the plant is entering dormancy.

• Sun-Kissed Blooms: For the most vibrant blooms and healthy growth, position your 'Kasai' in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. In the intense South African summer, a little afternoon shade is ideal to protect those magnificent flowers.

• Happy Home in the Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. A rich, loamy mix ensures your 'Kasai' has all the nutrients it needs to flourish. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
