How to Plant Caladium Bulbs

White Christmas grows well in containers — plant in 4” pots or larger and keep in a warm location with bright indirect light.

Care Tips

• Soil: Rich, well-draining mix; add compost or topsoil at planting time
• Water: Keep consistently moist; mulch outdoors with pine straw to retain moisture
• Light: Filtered sun to full shade; sun tolerant but appreciates afternoon shade in the hottest climates
• Winter storage: In zones below 9, lift tubers before first frost and store in a dry, airy place until spring
