It grows to 0.6–1 m (2.0–3.3 ft) tall, with large clumps of broad, arrow shaped dark green leaves up to 45 cm (18 in) long. The inflorescences are large and are produced in spring, summer and autumn, with a pure white spathe up to 25 cm (9.8 in) and a yellow spadix up to 90 mm (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long. [3]
Its leaves are somewhat smaller, thinner and slightly more pointed than the larger Zantedeschia aethiopica—also commonly called the "calla lily"—and display attractive white speckling on their faces. The plant spreads laterally underground by way of a rhizome or tuber, with nodes (or "eyes
Common names include arum lily for Z. aethiopica, calla and calla lily for Z. elliottiana and Z. rehmannii. However, members of this genus are not true lilies [ 4 ] (which belong to the family Liliaceae ), and the genera Arum and Calla , although related, are distinct from Zantedeschia , despite visual similarities.
Zantedeschia elliottiana is a herbaceous plant up to 60 cm (2 ft) tall, with large deep green leaves spotted with white. It is summer-flowering plant with a yellow spathe marked with purple at the base. [2] The spathe surrounds a yellow spadix which occasionally produces a spike of bright yellow berries that are attractive to birds. [citation ...
Vegetative reproduction (also known as vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication or cloning) is a form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures, which are sometimes called vegetative propagules.

Stem cuttings of young wood should be taken in spring from the upper branches, while cuttings of hardened wood should be taken in winter from the lower branches. Common bounds on the length of stem cuttings are between 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) for soft wood and between 20–25 centimetres (7.9–9.8 in) for hard wood.
A perennial plant, Arum palaestinum grows up to 10–25 cm (4–10 in) high. It blooms between the months of March and April, by which time the plant is easily recognized by its dark purplish-black spadix enclosed by a reddish-brown spathe. [3] [4] The leaves are light green, narrow, and upright with a purplish-black color. The root is tuberous.
It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant growing in bogs and ponds. The leaves are rounded to heart-shaped, 6–12 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long on a 10–20 cm (4–8 in) petiole, and 4–12 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) broad.
