calla seeds/fruits question

18 years ago

Okay folks-

My large calla has set a fruit/seed head. The question- how long should I wait until picking off the fruit -heads? Until the head starts to turn brown? Turns brown? Obviously, I owuld like the plant to store up as much energy as possible for next year (since it FINALLY bloomed this year), but I would like to start lots of little guys too.

Thnaks for your help! lemonbird
