CALADIUMS 
POT-PLANT CULTURE 
Probably the quickest way to obtain growth is to 
place the bulbs directly in pots. 
Use a mixture of 14 
top soil on the sandy side, 14 dairy fertilizer well rotted, 
7 
14 leaf mold, with a little gravel added for drainage. 
Water sparingly until sprouted and then give plenty of 
water. Keep at 85° or higher and by no means allow 
Caladium bulbs to become chilled, as this definitely 
checks the growth. 
Some growers prefer to place bulbs in flats half- 
submerged. This we do not recommend, since it 
causes half of the bulb to dry and sometimes rot. Then,
