Park Seed Caladium Bulbs

Yes, 'White Christmas' Caladiums make excellent houseplants. They thrive in warm, humid environments and provide striking foliage year-round when placed in a spot with bright, indirect light.

These Caladiums prefer partial shade to full shade. While they are more sun-tolerant than some other varieties, they will perform best when protected from harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch their delicate leaves.

Caladiums are only perennial in hardiness zones 10 and 11. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or dig up the bulbs in the fall to store them indoors over the winter.

Plant your Caladium bulbs approximately 1.5 inches deep. Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained to prevent the bulbs from rotting before they sprout.

These Caladiums are considered deer resistant, making them a safer choice for garden beds or borders in areas where deer frequent. However, no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce.

Keep the soil consistently moist and avoid letting it dry out completely. If you are growing them in containers, ensure the pots have good drainage holes to prevent water from pooling around the bulbs.
