Sweetheart Caladium Bulbs

Yes, these caladiums make excellent houseplants. They thrive in bright, indirect light and prefer a warm spot with consistent moisture, making them a great choice for adding tropical color to a room.

Sweetheart Caladiums prefer part shade to full shade. Too much direct, harsh sunlight can scorch their delicate, colorful leaves, so dappled light or a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal.

These bulbs are hardy in zones 9-10. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or dig up the bulbs in the fall before the first frost to store them indoors for the winter.

Since these plants reach a mature width of 24 inches, you should space the bulbs about 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for the foliage to spread and creates a full, lush look without overcrowding.

They thrive in rich, loamy, well-drained soil. It is important to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as soggy conditions can cause the bulbs to rot.
