CULTURE 
IS SIMPLE 
Soil should be slightly acid, ph 6.2 to 6.5. It should be composed of 
one-part each of leaf-mould, rotted manure and loam. Good drainage 
is necessary. Add 4-inch potful of Vertagreen 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. 
Temperature should be 80 to 85 degrees, the higher the better. Reduce 
heat gradually to harden off the plants. Start the bulbs in flats and 
place on steam flows if possible. 
Water sparingly until sprouts and roots are 4 to 6 inches long; then 
shift to 5 or 6-inch pots. Never allow the pots to dry out when in full 
growth. 
Never place Caladiums in cold storage: they were not made for it. 
If not ready to plant the bulbs when they are received, place them in 
shallow trays in a temperature of not less than 70 degrees and with 
relative humidity of at least 70% until ready to plant.
