Here is the way a professional would grow Fancy-Leaved Caladiums— 
follow as closely as is practical. 
Soil mixture, two parts leaf mold, one part peat, two. parts virgin soil, one 
part very old cow manure, one part sand. If no peat is available use three 
parts leaf mold. b { , 
Pot in the smallest size possible and keep in house sixty-five to seventy 
degrees at night and correspondingly warmer in the daytime. Fancy-Leaved 
Caladiums require heat and humidity. Bottom heat of 70 degrees is essen- 
tial for producing good Easter plants. As soon gs rooted through, shift to 
larger sizes using approximately the same mixture, cutting down the leaf 
mold.a little and using more virgin soil in the larger pots. After shifting to 
larger sizes slightly lower the growing temperature but do not allow the 
night temperature to go below sixty degrees and the day temperature below 
sixty-five degrees. Space well apart for good ventilation: 
Here is a very lovely flower 
for your garden—Ismene 
or Peruvian Daffodil.
