Description: **In general, larger bulbs produce more and bigger leaves faster. Smaller bulbs will perform just as well given a little more time.Planting, storing and growing instructions for caladium bulbsand elephant ear bulbsCaladiums have proven to be excellent bedding plants for full shade to full sun. (For full sun tolerant varieties see individual variety pictures). Caladiums will perform well in most any soil. Please check planting zone chart for ideal planting times.Caladiums are tropical bulbs. Therefore it is very important to keep them warm. When your bulbs arrive it is important that you unpack them immediately. They need to be in a well-ventilated area. Do not store in the shipping carton that they arrived in! They must be stored in a warm area with good air circulation until ready to plant. (70-80 degrees)Caladiums have a natural dormant period beginning sometime in autumn. The leaves will begin to die back, and this is the time to dig them if you want to store them. For long-term storing we suggest digging them before the first frost. Dry the bulbs in the sun with plenty of air circulation and store them in a mesh bag or in peat moss and keep them warm. For long-term storage 70 degrees is optimal.
