Caladium Care Instructions

Caladiums are known for their large, heart-shaped leaves that come in a variety of vibrant colors and patterns. Here’s how to care for them:

Planting Caladiums:

• Location: Caladiums thrive in partial to full shade.
• Spacing: Plant caladiums about 8-12 inches apart, with the top of the tuber just below the soil surface.

Caring for Caladiums:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
• Feeding: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and apply a liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Maintenance: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plants looking their best. Caladiums are sensitive to cold, so wait until the soil is warm before planting.

Caladiums add a splash of color to shaded areas and are perfect for creating striking foliage displays in your garden.
