Why does your Zantedeschia Captain Palermo have drooping leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Zantedeschia cultivars are highly susceptible to Phytophthora or Pythium if the substrate remains saturated. This prevents oxygen from reaching the rhizome, leading to tissue decay and structural collapse of the leaves.
Calla Lilies require consistent moisture to maintain turgor pressure in their large, fleshy leaves. If the soil dries out completely, the plant will rapidly wilt to conserve moisture.
As tropical/subtropical rhizomatous plants, 'Captain Palermo' can experience cellular damage if exposed to temperatures below 50°F (10°C). This stress causes the leaves to lose rigidity and droop.
A lack of available nitrogen prevents the production of chlorophyll and structural proteins, resulting in weak, limp, and pale yellowing foliage.
