How to care for your Zantedeschia Green Goddess

  • Location:  Plant in a location that receives partial to full sunlight. It thrives in bright, indirect light. In hotter regions, consider providing some shade during the intense afternoon sun.
  • Soil:  Use well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Incorporating organic matter, such as compost, into the soil promotes good drainage and enhances fertility.
  • Watering:  Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Water regularly, ensuring that the soil remains slightly damp but not waterlogged.  Prefers consistently moist conditions.
  • Mulching:  Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Mulching is particularly beneficial in colder regions for winter protection.
  • Fertilising:  Provide a balanced, liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Follow the package instructions for the correct dosage.
  • Deadheading:  Regularly remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain the plant’s neat appearance. This can be done by snipping off the faded flowers at their base.
  • Winter Care:  In colder regions, apply a layer of mulch in late Autumn to protect the rhizomes from frost. This is especially important for outdoor plantings.

By following these care guidelines, you can ensure the health and vitality of your Zantedeschia Green Goddess. With its stunning green and white blooms, this plant adds a touch of sophistication to your garden.
