Caladium 'Cherry Tart'

Plant Caladium tubers into individual pots at a depth of 5cm (2”), using a good quality compost. Grow them on in warm, frost free conditions with consistent temperatures of 20C (68F). A shaded north facing windowsill is ideal, but protect the delicate foliage from scorching direct sun. When plants are well grown and outdoor temperatures are reliably warm, Caladiums can be moved outdoors to a lightly shaded spot on the patio, or planted into borders in moist, fertile soil. Protect plants from direct sun and drying winds.

Feed and water Caladiums regularly throughout the growing season. In early autumn, well before the first frosts, return plants to their warm position indoors. Alternatively, cut back the old foliage and lift the tubers. Allow them to dry, before storing them in paper bags or trays of loose compost in a frost free position over winter. They can be replanted in the following spring.
