Calla Lily needs watering 1-2 times per week during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, maintaining consistent moisture without waterlogging. Reduce watering frequency in autumn and winter when the plant enters dormancy.

No, Calla Lily is toxic to cats and dogs. All parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals which can cause mouth irritation, difficulty swallowing, and digestive upset if consumed. Shop Pet Safe Plants from Garden View Nursery.
