Growing Tips
- Light, Heat, and Humidity: Caladiums require ample light, heat, and humidity for optimal growth. Ensure they are planted in a bright spot with sufficient warmth and humidity.
- Starting Your Bulbs: Plant bulbs about 2" deep with eyes facing up, 8-12" apart, in a shallow container with good drainage. Keep the pot in a bright location.
- Watering: Water generously after planting and maintain slightly damp soil. Roots and sprouts will form in a few weeks.
- Soil: Use a mix of houseplant potting soil, heather soil, perlite, sphagnum moss, or compressed coconut fiber for optimal growth.
Caring for Your Pink Panther Caladium
- Patience: Be patient for growth to appear, typically within a few weeks. Once leaves unfold, repot into a larger pot with a well-draining substrate.
- Light needs: Provide bright light and high humidity to enhance the vibrancy of colors.
- Humidity: Consider using a humidifier or spraying foliage with filtered water.
- Fertilizer: During growth, apply diluted liquid fertilizer for indoor plants, avoiding contact with leaves.
Winter Care
- Preparing for Dormancy: As autumn ends, reduce watering gradually. Once foliage wilts completely, cut down stems, and dig up bulbs. Air dry before storing in a dark, well-ventilated, dry place above 15°C.
