Wayside Gardens Caladium Bulbs

Yes, these caladiums make excellent houseplants. Place them in a spot with bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist to mimic their natural tropical environment.

They prefer shade to partial sun. While they can handle some morning sun, they perform best in filtered light or dappled shade to prevent the leaves from scorching.

Caladiums are tender perennials hardy in zones 9 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the bulbs in the fall and store them indoors over the winter.

Each pack contains 5 bulbs. For the best visual impact, space them about 8 to 12 inches apart to allow the foliage enough room to fill out into an attractive clump.

No, these plants are not considered deer resistant. If you have a high deer population in your area, you may want to plant them in containers on a patio or in a protected location.

Caladiums thrive in moist, well-drained soil. You should water them regularly to keep the soil evenly damp, but avoid letting them sit in standing water, which can cause the bulbs to rot.
