I have 6 large Calla Lilies and all of them have fallen over. I'm going to stake them up but my neighbors have the same plants and theirs are tall and blooming. What am I doing wrong? They're in partial shade and I try and keep the soil moist.

Thanks in advance.

If you are in the cooler northern part of California, they might need more sun for optimim growth. The partial shade is required if you live in an extremely hot area, then they would need afternoon shade for protection from the high heat but morning sun would be great.
