N CALADIUMS- 
ready in full leaf 
The longer a Caladium tuber is dormant, the more brilliant will be its 
color and the easier it is to grow into a finished plant. That’s the reason you 
should plant Caladiums in June, July and August for late summer sales. 
Caladiums are much more easily grown at this time of year than during 
the cold months. They require less attention and no heat, but copious 
watering. 
SOIL should be slightly acid, pH 6.2 to 6.5. It should be composed of 
one part each of leaf-mold, rotted manure and loam. Good drainage is 
necessary. Add a 3-inch pot of Vigoro to each bushel of soil. 
LIGHT is important. Give as much strong light as possible without 
burning leaves. The colors will not be bright unless plants have good 
strong light.

used in conjunction with other plants for either 
basket or window-box decoration.
