Your calla lily won't make a suitable houseplant because it goes dormant in the winter months. After it rests it begins to grow again in the spring. These plants are not frost hardy so you'll need to dig and store the bulbs in a cool, dark place during the winter months. Wait until the foliage dies down in the fall and then dig the bulbs and store them in a cool, dark place so they can rest. You can replant them next spring.
