Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required for Caladium seeds. However, soaking seeds in water for a few hours before planting can help soften the seed coat and promote germination.
Sowing:
Plant seeds indoors in seed trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate.
Maintain a warm and humid environment for germination, with temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Germination:
Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks, but it may take longer under suboptimal conditions. Once seedlings emerge, provide ample light to encourage healthy growth.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Choose a shaded or partially shaded location with well-draining soil.
Space Caladium plants 12 to 18 inches apart, depending on the variety, to allow for their mature size.
Handle seedlings carefully to avoid damaging their delicate roots.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water Caladiums regularly, especially during dry periods, to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around Caladium plants to conserve moisture and suppress weed growth.
