I have calla lillies that I have in pots. Last Fall I took them out of the pots and placed in a box lined with black plastic but let air get to them. In about late march or ealy April I checked them and they were starting to grow-little green stems appearing. I put them in fresh potting soil and back in my pots. I kept them in the basement and watered about once a week. They are now all coming up but also have very long stems with leaves. About four to five of these long stems to each pot. I have now put them outside but still in the pots. Is there anything else I can do and can these long stems be cut to the size that the other stems? They are really not very pretty and I do hope I have not ruined them. Any help or suggestions anyone might have, I would greatly appreciate. Thanks

Thanks, Nako, for your help. Your advise sounds right to me, and we finally have plenty of sun here in Wisconsin. Maybe that will do the trick. Best of luck with yours.

I did the winter thing too. They got leggy all winter in the basement so I just kept trimming them back. Once planted outside I trimmed again and they appear to be thriving!!
