How to prune zantedeschia albomaculata

After flowering finishes and as foliage begins to yellow. Snip spent spathes and stems at the base with clean secateurs. Allow leaves to yellow naturally before cutting them back — removing green foliage early reduces energy stored in the corm.

Annually, as part of dormancy preparation. Zantedeschia albomaculata (the spotted calla) needs minimal pruning. Remove spent flower spathes at the base once they fade, and cut back yellowing leaves as the plant goes dormant in late summer. This keeps the plant tidy and lets the corm store energy for next year's growth.
