Know before you buy
No, this variety is specifically bred for shady spots. Direct, intense sunlight will scorch the delicate heart-shaped leaves, so it is best to plant them in areas with partial to full shade.
This package includes three large bulbs, which is the ideal amount for a standard 10- to 12-inch container. Planting them together will create a lush, mounded display of foliage.
Yes, Caladiums thrive indoors as long as they receive bright, indirect light. They make excellent houseplants for adding tropical color to rooms that don't get direct sun.
Plant the bulbs 1.5 to 2 inches deep in well-draining soil once the spring weather has warmed up. Ensure they are spaced about 18 inches apart if planting in the ground to allow for their mature spread.
If you live in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11, they can remain in the ground year-round. In colder climates, you should lift the bulbs in the fall after the foliage fades and store them in a cool, dry place until the following spring.
