<> Fancy Leaved Caladiums 
BRIGHTER COLORS. BIGGER LEAVES. MORE LEAVES. 
Caladiums are easily grown but should not be put in a Carnation temperature. Start the bulbs in flats, turning them upside down, 
since this is a crown-rooting bulb and the roots come out around the top (center) eye. This direct contact with the growing 
medium produces roots more quickly than the opposite method. Use a mixture of one part leaf-mold, one part good garden loam, 
and one part peat moss or other coarse neutral material, adding a small amount of coarse charcoal or other rubble for drainage. 
Press the bulb halfway into the soil and place the flats under a bench. The flats can also be placed on top of the flows, but if this 
is done they should be shaded. The temperature should be 80 to 85 degrees or higher, as the higher the temperature, the better 
starting results you will have. Be careful that the flats do not dry out if placed either on the flows or returns. Water sparingly until 
the bulbs begin to sprout and have roots 4 to 6 inches long. When the sprouts begin to show place the bulbs in 5 or 6 inch pots 
using good rich leaf-mold. Water copiously when in full growth and use weak liquid manure once weekly if possible.
