Chinese market has a growing request for more diverse varieties of cutting flowers
Calla lily is one of the new coming popular cutting flowers. Calla lily has a special shape and all kinds of colors, which can be used in different scenarios like wedding bouquet, interior decoration, etc.


Statistically, Calla lilies are cultivated across approximately 5 hectares of growing area worldwide, most of them are soil growing.
Baiyi Group is one of the largest cutting flower production company in western China. Baiyi Group recently finished a 3-ha greenhouse for hydronic calla lily and gerbera. Different than the traditional soil growing, growing flowers with substrate has benefits like better water control and less disease.
A full Meteor Systems pot growing system was used in this project. One of the main difficulties for growing cut calla lilies is a disease called erwinia. By using Meteor pot systems, the disease is blocked from spreading to each other crops. In this way, the crops have better quality and higher quantity. In addition, the potting system is easy to do rotation. The growth cycle of color calla lilies is about 2 months, and traditional soil planting requires soil sterilization at the end of each growth cycle, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. With the soilless form of potting, growers only need to change the substrate in the pot for a quick rotation. Meteor Systems also design the growing table at right height so it is easy for the grower to pick up the flowers.
