Sure I grow them indoors. Just pot up the rhizomes in spring or fall in a
6-8inch pot. Keep the compost moist at all times and put it in full sun. Mine
get sun for at least 5-6 hours a day and more. I fertilise a couple of times
at half dose. After flowering, they need a rest period where you keep compost
pretty dry and then you start into growth again by watering more freely.
I don't understand how yours didn't flower. I'm pretty much new with growing
callas and they were nothing to care for. I didn't do anything special. I know
that good  light and moist soil are two essential things for success, perhaps
that was your problem. Someone else on this list might be able to help you
better since I'm new with these and just know of their general care. Maybe
your rhizomes weren't in good condition, but I don't know enough about this so
I'll just stop here : )
try some again, perhaps I can send you seeds or something in fall (if I get
some)
