In autumn, let both dry out and die down naturally but keep frost free. Begonia should then be carefully tipped out and the tubers dusted with a fungicide before storing away. The Calla will vary a bit according to the types. Assuming that you are refering to the Zantedeschia rehmanii types, just leave them in the pots dry and frost free until the spring. If they are the larger white types Z. aethiopica these are much tougher and will take some frost but often rot if left cold and wet. If space is a problem, remove the tubers from the pot and store like the Begonia.
