CALDIUM Plants are ready!! You will receive the plant that grew from one bulb. One bulb brings up multiple leaves, and a new bulb or two, at a time and through out the growing season.Leave the bulbs in the ground in warm zones thru out the year. Dig up in colder zones. Check your particular zone for what you should do. I am in 9a and leave them in the ground year round. And they love it! Multiplying is what they do best, staying in the ground. Mulch up and you should be fine. Here in North Central Florida, I have a couple inches of mulches over mine along with a few inches of soil. We did get into the 20's in 2021-22 Winter Season.
Where to plant caladiums:
Caladiums thrive outdoors during the warmer months and add a lush, exotic touch to your yard or garden. Most Caladiums are at home in the shade or partial shade, but some varieties are more sun tolerant and can be planted in areas with little shade. They are a great way to add color to shady areas. They are often used as border plants, alongside homes, or in beds. They may also be used in window boxes and make stunning patio container plants. 
When to Plant Caladium Bulbs 
Caladiums are tropical tubers and MUST be warm to flourish. It is critical to wait to plant your caladiums until your soil temperature is at or above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Cool weather will significantly delay germination. See the recommended planting date for your area on the map to the left.
How to Plant Caladium Bulbs
Planting Caladiums is very easy. Plant the top of the bulb 11/2 to 2 inches below the surface with the eyes up. If the soil is sandy, mix in some peat moss to improve moisture retention. Mulch around the planting and keep moist throughout the season. Fertilize every six weeks with a 6-6-6 type fertilizer or slow release type fertilizer. Use about a teaspoon per bulb.
Storing Caladium Bulbs
As foliage begins to die down in the fall, reduce water, dig up and air dry bulbs for a week. Store in a dry location at 55 degrees or above. Storage only applies to zones 8 and above. In deep south, it is not necessary to dig caladiums up during the winter months.
Caladiums Indoors
Caladiums provide an impressive showing indoors, their vibrant hues adding warmth to any home. They are at home in pots and can be placed outside when summer arrives. Caladiums as cut flowers will keep for 2-3 weeks and make a gorgeous display in a vase or floral arrangement.
