The caladiums are easy to grow, in warmth and part shade. Plant the tubers in 
late winter or spring in a rich compost, lightened with sandy loam and some leaf 
mold if necessary. Keep warm, dark and moist until the bulb starts to sprout, and 
do not let dry out. A one-inch tuber can be grown in five-inch pot, and a two- 
inch size tuber in a six-inch pot. Larger tubers may take small tubs to give best 
results and they will make enormous plants in the garden in shade and rich soil, or 
the stronger growing varieties can be planted in the open in beds in full‘or part sun, 
even in the north, with good results, when they are well fed and watered. 
In the late fall, the foliage will begin to ‘“‘flop,’’ and the bulbs will finally go 
dormant. They should be assisted in this by drying off or digging before frost. 
Stored dry and warm in the winter, North or South, the bulbs are ready to plant 
again in February and March, or may be held until June, with protection. They keep 
best in boxes of porous, finely-ground peat or sphagnum. Near freezing tempera- 
tures will injure them. They may be dried off in their pots and kept warm.
