Soil Type

Water: Zantedeschia 'Pink Mist' requires ample water during growth but should not be waterlogged. Increase watering in spring and summer, then gradually reduce as it enters dormancy. Keep soil slightly moist. Potted zantedeschia 'Pink Mist' may need more frequent, smaller amounts of water. No watering needed during dormancy in fall and winter.

Fertilize: Zantedeschia 'Pink Mist' benefits from phosphorus-rich fertilization for larger flowers. Apply thin compound fertilizer biweekly during growth until flowering. Excess nitrogen promotes leaf growth over flowering. Ferrous sulfate, in a 2% solution, can enhance leaf thickness and petiole length when applied bi-monthly to potted plants.

Pruning: Zantedeschia 'Pink Mist' features trumpet-shaped blooms and arrow-shaped leaves. Prune lightly in early to late spring to encourage growth and remove dead foliage. This enhances air circulation, promotes new growth, and reduces disease risk. Avoid heavy pruning; shape the plant and remove spent flowers to extend blooming.

Propagation: The primary propagation method for zantedeschia 'Pink Mist' is dividing its rhizomes, best done after flowering in early fall or post-dormancy in spring. After division, allow rhizomes to dry slightly before planting. Growth may weaken initially; purchasing new seeds is often recommended for annual cultivation.
