How to grow Caladiums from bulbs (Caladium tubers)

Рет қаралды 82,632

Caladiums are easy to grow tropical plants that's look fantastic as houseplants or as outdoor plants for tropical and Exotic style gardens. Caladiums are easy to grow from their dormant tubers which is a much more affordable way to buy them. Although Caladiums grow slowly at first, once the first colourful leaves emerge the plant will grow very quickly!
Plant your Caladium bulbs (tubers) in spring using a good moisture retaining compost. The Caladiums tubers should be planted at a depth of 5cm-10cm with the pointy end facing upwards. Water in your Caladium tubers well to bring them out of dormancy and leave in a warm sunny spot.
Within about 6-10 weeks your Caladium plants will have emerged and produced their colourful leaves. To care for your Caladiums ensure they are kept in a humid environment such as your kitchen or bathroom. if you want to grow Caladiums elsewhere such as your living room or garden then spray with your plants with water frequently to maintain humidity around your Caladium plants. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and feed weekly to help your Caladium plants maintain their bright colours. Caladiums love shady conditions so be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight. Caladium leaves are also very fragile so these plants will not cope with strong winds if planted outdoors in a tropical and exotic styled garden.

I know this is a slightly older video but I do have a question that I just cannot seem to find a single answer for *anywhere* i look online; When do you know that it's time to repot a caladium? I recently bought one and to me it seems as if the plant may need a bigger pot but it also seems to be growing fine. Do I repot once the roots start to over crowd the soil? Or when the plant(s) are over more than half of the pot size? I want to make sure I am giving it what it needs. Please help a new grower out

If I want to plant my bulbs in a pot, what’s the minimum diameter pot I should use if I plant just one bulb in it? I just got some bulbs and living in Northern California, I’m also wondering if it’s too early to plant them if I start them indoors. One more question: if I start them indoors, how necessary is it that they are in sunlight? I know it’s not the same thing, but I once grew a pot of catnip in a dark bathroom drawer. Any answers to these questions will help me so much. Thanks so much for this super informative video.

One of the outdoor photos you've shown, there are ferns, rex begonias, and caladiums mingled all together. Is that your own garden? If so, I would like to know what is the silver-leafed plant with burgundy stems nearest the camera in the right corner. I believe I had some cuttings of that, many years ago, but it did not survive, and I can't remember what it is. I feel like it's something within the Acanthaceae family, based on the leaf structure, and it looks very similar to my persian shield. Just with slight difference in texture and color difference.

@katrinahuff9550 2 жыл бұрын

I realize this is an old comment, so your plants are probably not still alive... You'd need the bulb. This isn't a type of plant who can grow roots from just a leaf (some can, like begonias!).... but please don't poach plants from their natural habitat. Not only does that possibly deplete the natural environment and population of that plant, but it's usually quite illegal without a horticultural/botanical harvesting license. You may also get into trouble bringing plants back home, coming through customs. There is strict rules and licensing involved to do that legally. Caladiums are often very affordable and easy to find in many colors, in shops and online.
