    Hope I'm posting in the right place.

    I have a beautiful calla lily in a pot. Recently it has begun to wilt and go slimy.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    No. I've had another look on the net and think it could be soft rot. Hoping drying it out, out of its pot will save it.
    It's also pot bound.

      Have never seen it on our lily. She's a house plant too.
      Worth a shot though.
