I’ve had this plant since March. It’s dropping don’t know what happened to it. But I don’t want to give up on it. Any suggestions. Please send help.

I have no experience with Callas but this is what the interwebs says:

CALLA LILY CARE

Temperature and humidity:  
This tropical plant prefers temperatures between 60 to 80 degrees F. Calla lily thrives in humid and moist conditions and may need protection from hot afternoon sun. Plants will go dormant when temperatures drop below 50 degrees F. Don’t allow rhizomes to freeze.

Soil:  
Hybrids prefer a well-drained, porous soil. Sandy soils are good if you add fertilizer; clay soils can be tricky. For containers, use a high-quality, all-purpose potting mix.

Watering:  
Give them water when the soil is slightly dry (but don't overdose—the hybrid callas dislike soggy soil), and they're good to go.

Amendments and fertilizer:  
At the time of planting, apply a slow-release fertilizer. Excessive nitrogen will encourage a bounty of leaves and long stems, squelching bud production. In a fertile soil, no further food is needed.

Deadheading:  
Cut off spent blooms and remove damaged or discolored leaves to tidy up plants.

Pests and diseases:  
Diseases can include bacterial soft rot, botrytis, powdery mildew, gray mold, blight, leaf spot, dasheen mosaic virus, spotted wilt, and armillaria rot. Pests can include slugs, Japanese beetles, aphids, spider mites, or thrips.

Winter care:  
Before frost threatens in autumn or early winter:

Potted callas: Cut the foliage back to the ground once it yellows and bring pots indoors to a cool, dry environment to rest the rhizomes.  
In-ground callas: Cut the foliage back to the ground once it yellows, dig up the rhizomes, and store them in a dry 55ºF environment.  
Withhold water for eight weeks or longer before jump-starting the cycle again with light and water.

So maybe it’s over fertilized and has too much hydrogen in the soil? 🤔
