Know before you buy
Yes, these caladiums thrive as houseplants. Place them in a spot with bright, indirect light and ensure the soil remains consistently moist but well-draining.
Plant the bulbs with the knobby side facing up at a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches. This ensures the shoots can easily reach the surface while keeping the bulb stable.
Caladiums are tropical plants that prefer warm soil and are hardy in zones 9-11. If you live in a cooler region, you can grow them in containers and bring them indoors before the first frost.
Each bulb will grow to a mature spread of about 12 inches. If planting multiple bulbs in one container or garden bed, space them at least 10 to 12 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
No, they actually prefer dappled or partial shade. Too much direct, harsh sunlight can scorch the delicate, heart-shaped leaves, so it is best to keep them in a sheltered, shaded area.
