Hi,
Yesterday I repotted three pots of "Flame" Calla Lilies into one large pot. In the process, a lot of the stems broke off. Is it possible to root these - I am thinking probably not because they are rhizomes instead of regular roots... If I can root them, how? Right now I have them in some water. I'm so bummed that they broke off, but the pots were really "root" bound and I ended up having to cut the plastic pots off the plants to get them out.

Thanks
Kimber

I don't think they'd root, but they will come back from the roots.

i concur with Cricket, they will not root but the corms will grow more foliage.
