Caladiums Colorful Foliage Guide for Start to Dormancy
Caladiums provide heart shaped leaves with tissue like texture and vibrant colors. Grown from irregular tubers costing about five cents, they must be started warm and moist, then kept heat and humidity high for best growth. Roots form near the crown eye, tubers should be placed upside down in damp moss, then potted in rich loam leaf mold and manure. Maintain warm, moist conditions as leaves develop, water generously during growth, fertilize monthly, and reduce water in autumn as foliage yellows. Store tubers dry over winter to prevent decay.
