Wayside Gardens Caladium Bulbs

These bulbs are versatile and can handle a range of light conditions from full shade to full sun. However, in hotter climates, they will perform best with some afternoon shade to prevent the leaves from scorching.

Caladiums are not frost-tolerant. Before the first hard frost, dig up the bulbs, let them dry out, and store them in a cool, dark, and dry place until the soil warms up again in the spring.

Yes, their compact growth habit makes them excellent candidates for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage, as these plants prefer moist but well-drained soil.

Each pack contains 5 bulbs. Since they reach a mature width of 24 inches, you should space them about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.

Caladiums thrive in normal, loamy soil that holds moisture well. If your soil is heavy clay or very sandy, mixing in some organic compost will improve the texture and drainage, which helps the bulbs establish more easily.
