How to grow caladiums! Caladiums are a great addition to the garden. These easy to grow plants offer an exotic and lush appeal wherever they are placed and they are fairly fuss free given a few simple needs are met. In this video I cover how to plant caladiums bulbs, how to grow caladiums, how to water caladiums, how to fertilize caladiums, how to grow caladiums indoors and how to winterize caladiums ( how to store caladium bulbs ) Oh, and pest and problems with caladiums. Growing caladiums is fairly simple outdoors. Give caladiums lots of water in a rich and well drained soil that is slightly acidic in the part shade to shade and they will do the rest. Growing caladiums indoors is a little bit more tricky as they prefer a warm environment. Caladiums as houseplants is a possibility though, just be more cautious with watering and give lots and lots of light. When planting caladium bulbs it is important to remember to only plant a bulb on it's side if you are planting very shallow! Planting a bulb sideways more than a couple inches below the soil will likely just kill it. In general when planting caladium bulbs, the flat side goes down, and the pointy side goes up. In the example in my video I had to plant them sideways because many of them were growing from the same side as their roots, which isn't normal but happens sometimes when bulbs are mass divided.... and done so sloppily. Like I said, growing caladiums indoors and/or growing caladiums as houseplants isn't as simple. The houseplant care is different from outside in that they wont want to be watered as often since the temperatures are cooler than the warmer temps they prefer to have. Storing caladium bulbs is easy! Just dig them up, clean them off ( dirt, roots and foliage ) allow to dry for a few days and store in a breathable container, place it in a dark and dry location for at least 12 weeks then replant. How to propagate caladiums is also simple. Typically it is easiest to just divide the bulbs every year or so, making sure to keep 3 eyes on each bulb. Caladiums can be grown from seed which can be harvested from the spent and dried flower heads on the plants. Caladiums are easy to grow and rewarding plants for the home and garden!
