TIPS & MAINTENANCE

Caladiums like well drained soil, if the area puddles after a good rain, you should probably look somewhere else to plant your bulbs. They should be moist - not soggy.
Where most plants don't tolerate shade well - most caladiums love shady areas! Where your favorite flower will bloom for a week or two, these plants will provide that additional color and texture all summer. Plant the bulbs about 1 1/2 - 2 inches deep with the knobby side up (these are actually the "eyes" or growing points). When the temps go below 60° and stay there when cooler weather or fall/winter is approaching, harvest the bulbs & leaves, let them dry for a week or so, trim off the tops and store the bulbs in a dry (use paper bags or peat moss) warm area for planting next spring. The bulbs go dormant in the winter as they like to have a period of rest.
