# Calla Lily Help! Picked this up from a local grocery store with…

_Posted by Rose on 2026-07-24_

Calla Lily Help!  
Picked this up from a local grocery store with beautiful full blooms. It’s been 2 weeks and it’s looking a little sad. Water once a week thoroughly and keep in the south facing window.  
Could it be going dormant? Does it need repotted?  
Any tips would be much appreciated!

From my experience calla lilies are super prone to root rot, I would only water when the top 2in of the soil are dry, they also tend to prefer indirect sunlight (like an east or west facing window) :)
