Why does your Zantedeschia Captain Alma have drooping leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Calla Lilies require consistent moisture to maintain turgidity in their large, fleshy leaves. When the soil dries out too much, the plant loses water pressure, causing the stalks and foliage to wilt.
Overwatering or poor drainage causes the rhizomes of Zantedeschia to rot due to lack of oxygen. This prevents the plant from transporting water to the leaves, ironically resulting in drooping despite wet soil.
Zantedeschia Captain Alma is sensitive to cold temperatures and sudden drafts. Low temperatures can cause the metabolic processes to slow down, leading to limp, drooping foliage.
A lack of available nitrogen can prevent the plant from maintaining strong cell walls and chlorophyll production, leading to weakened, drooping stems.
