How to Plant Caladium Bulbs

Plant tubers knobby side up, 1–1½ inches deep and 8–14 inches apart. Wait until soil temperature is consistently above 65°F before planting outdoors. Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter such as mushroom compost or chopped leaves. Add pine straw mulch to retain soil moisture.

Care Tips

• Soil: Rich, well-draining mix with organic matter
• Water: Keep consistently moist; mulch outdoors to retain moisture. Never allow to dry out in sunny spots
• Light: Filtered sun to full shade; caladiums rival flowering plants for color in low-light areas
• Winter storage: In zones below 9, lift tubers before first frost and store in a dry, airy place until spring
