Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Caladium seeds have a hard seed coat. To enhance germination, lightly scarify the seed coat with a file or soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting.
Sowing:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Germination:
Germination typically takes 4-6 weeks. Once seeds germinate, provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth. Maintain humidity by covering trays or pots with plastic wrap or using a humidity dome.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings into larger pots or directly into the garden when they have developed several leaves and are sturdy enough to handle. Choose a planting location with partial to full shade and well-drained soil. Space plants 8-12 inches apart to allow for mature growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain plant health and appearance. Protect plants from strong winds and heavy rainfall, as they prefer sheltered conditions.
