In today's video I explain how to wake up the dormant caladiums that I had dug up and wintered over in my basement in vermiculite. Because Caladiums are heat lovers you have to lift them in Autumn when your daytime temperatures drop below 15ºC (60ºF) and you can't plant them out in the landscape until your SOIL temperature is above 60ºF, so the growing season is short and that is why you need to pot those caladiums up now so that when the ground temperature is optimum you can plant out a PLANT as opposed to a tuber and you can enjoy those incredible leaf colours a lot sooner. Despite a short growing season Caladiums are so worth the effort - I would certainly recommend reserving a space in your garden for them. There are so many colour combinations available that they are guaranteed to fit in with any colour palette you have going in your garden.
