Planting procedure

• In temperate locations, they need to be taken out before the first frost.

• The corms are dried and placed in storage for the winter when the temperature falls to 65 degrees F (18 degrees C). Throughout the cold season, they are kept between 56 degrees F (13 degrees C) and 61 degrees F in a moderately dry (not bone-dry) environment (16 degrees C)

• It is recommended to plant caladiums 4 to 6 inches deep and space them that far apart.

• Just enough water should be given to the caladiums to keep the soil moist but never enough to drown it.
