Everything I needed to know, you answered perfectly! I have a Caladium that bloom actually gigantic flowers! No idea how, never seen it till now. But stunning.
I am so glad I found your video! 🥰 I just acquired TWO stunning caladiums from a local nursery... BEAUTIFUL well established plants for (brace yourself) EIGHT USD!!! They are gorgeous. Google lens tells me that their common name is "the heart of Jesus"... I feel like I hit the jackpot... However, if I hadn't seen your video I would have panicked in the fall when it started to die back 😂 Thank you!!
White wonders are my favorite 🩷🤍
Bought my first one today. I live in Norway so it was really good to know about storing their bulbs for winter
Everytime I buy a plant I know nothing about this is the first place I stop. Thanks for your content!!
Aww thanks so much! I'm glad to be your go to 🥰
Omg! Thank you so much for this video! I i’ve bought my caladiums a few months ago and went to CZcams to help me with the growing needs as this was the first time I have ever bought any...and guess what? There were like almost no videos talking about caladiums as indoor plants! I’m super glad you are making this video. 😊
i second this!!!!!
Aww yay I'm so glad that I could help! Yeah I figured I'd share the indoor needs cuz I mostly found outdoor care for them 🙃
Mine live outdoors till late October! I live in Greece! I really love them have such wonderful foliage!! Thanks for the tips, very helpful!!!
My mother use to grow them...I will try to grow them indoors...thank you for your sharing...I live in Houston, Tx...by the way...
Just got a caladium Miss Moffett and your video has given me a load of info for it's care !
I’m practicing on bulbs I bought from Walmart, so I got 20 bulbs for $12! Thanks for all the great tips. New sub!
Such a deal! They're so so so much more expensive here! Good luck and thanks for the sub! Welcome to the good growing family :)
What is this sorcery! /s
Joke aside, they were $10 per bulb here.
Update : Not only was it expensive for a bulb, it was also dead. The only thing it ever produced was mold.
Ended-up buying an already-grown Caladium from those gift-plants racks that stores recieve for Mothers' Day.
It wasen't my ''dream Caladium'', but it was healthy, pretty-enough, and at reasonable price.
Oh and it's doing good. I tried direct afternoon Sun and got a tiny burn on one leaf. So it needs a sheer curtain for mid-day and afternoon Sun, and it will thrive in this high light.
I can't go over 50% humidity though. Best I can get is 35% - 50%. We will see.
Update : Only one tiny leaf ever burned, so I gave it unfiltered Sun again and it did great.
Wah, your hair’s are variegated too!
Nice video. Good info.
Hahah it so is 😂 thanks
😂😂😂
This is an amazing break down video!!
I just got mine today lol. Thanks!
Your plant is so gorgeous! 😍
Thanks!
Wonderful advice, thank you!!
Thank you for this video! I’m a beginner and this information helped me so much!
I just leave mine outside. I’ve learned they don’t like being in my house too much lol. I dig the bulbs up and store them for the cold season then bring them back out for spring and summer (:
Ah nice! Yeah I think it depends on where you live for sure. Glad you have success with them outside though!
Great job!
So glad I found you!! I have watered my Caladiums and keep them half sun/shade but for some reason they droop no matter what 🙈😬😭 maybe it’s too dark where I have them ugh. So I have to see how you keep them in winter. Subscribed👍 Please do more videos on the grow lights with plants not seed plants. Thank you!! Love your channel and plant babies 🪴🌱🌿🥰😍
Hey so caladiums indoors will go dormant over the winter period, meaning all the leaves will die off & you can leave them be or dig out the bulbs until the following year. So I’ve not kept mine growing over winter before
I have a Tapestry and it’s by far my favorite. Thanks for sharing this info, I was starting to wonder what to do when they go dormant.
Yeah tapestries are defo gorgeous! Glad I could help with overwintering info ;)
Thank you, good to get uk care guide too
Thanks for the tips as always
Always glad to help!

👍
Your a really nice person, you make gardening feel easy with your calm relaxing personality 😊
aww thanks!!
Red Flash Caladium sings ''it might not be Christmas for you, but it's always Christmas for me''.
Magnificent.
I just bought an amazing Caladium Sizzle for only 18$ she has a lot of beautiful leaves and even 7 flowers!!!
that's an amazing deal!
Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 😘 😊 😍
Great caladium video care!👏🏽👏🏽 Have you ever tried staking these or can they be staked? &will it harm them?
Thanks! I suppose you could stake them but you'd have to be really careful not to stake it too close to the centre where you catch the bulb... not sure if it would be worth it really as they don't vine or anything
I had 13 of them and non made it through the winter (I also kinda started to neglect them😅😅) so I ordered 7 different ones off a seller on Etsy for like $30USD and it’s all bulbs and it’s a total of 11-15 bulbs cuz she tends to sometimes add small extra
i have one of these on my porch and it needs HELP i want to bring it in for the winter
My caladiums have been growing outdoors and under directly sunlight all day long. I think they love it, because they grow these giant leaves much bigger than my face, and I barely fertilize them! I don't think they can reach their full potential without direct light.
I give mine Sun indoors too. Didn't burn last year. Dosen't burn now.
What will burn them is sudden Sun after growing in full shade, and wind + hot dry air. All of these burn risks are worsened if the plant gets thristy.
The plants grown in greenhouses that garden centers get delivered here often burn if put outside in the wind and Sun.
Where do you live? I live in Texas and see caladiums like warm weather but it’s like 100f weather outside and not sure if it’s better I put them on my balcony where they’re shaded all day or keep it indoors by window.
@@Thomasgonzaleswd Caladiums originated in south and central America and thrive in other tropical countries such as Thailand and Indonesia where temperature constantly soars to above 100f in the summer, so they can handle hot weather. But in Texas, humidity might be on the lower side. So I guess it makes sense to shade caladiums when it's both hot and dry.
@@amandaamanda5398 thanks! That what I figured since the leaves are delicate. I may try them outside but I know they still can live indoors too
Is there a video on how to fertilize?
I left my bulbs in a pot and they got crispy dry, had to buy new ones.
I not sure if you re seeing but i bought caladiums as an adult for outsider bought it inside it dropped. I put in my bathroom nice sun no burns and there was nice drainage. Any suggestions cause I need some.
Any reason mine lasted all winter I have a humidifier and grow lights
Do you have any updates on these? How they did in their dormancy?
So they did fine when I took the bulbs out of the soil & let them dry for winter. But I decided not to plant them up the next year
@@GoodGrowing thanks for letting me know! This video was super helpful as I'm considering getting some for my new place 😊
Have tubber type of soil to used to grow caladium
Lidl have these ATM all different colours for 5.99 bigger than the one you are showing us
I grow mine in my apt. In water
By the way I am a native of Honduras, CA...been living in the USA since 1962...
Who actually asked?
Tried Caladiums in Leca or Pons ?
Can I get roots without propagating with just cutting?
I don't think so. They need the tubers to produce roots
just picked a full grown caladium for $1 yesterday.
they're sooo much cheaper in the states!! Over here they cost way more! so glad you can find bargains!
Mine was doing great then a bulb popped up now she’s dropping :(
Indonesia call keladi
OMG! I am so Afraid Of My Neighbours! 😱 My House Is So So...showing !
WOW! So the Caladium is basically a Perennial that can grow both indoors and outdoors.
9:12 - TIP; You would do this video a ton of justice if you demonstrated and pointed out what you are talking about instead of assuming that viewers know the location of the "eye" and the "tuber" are on a Caladium bulb, etc, etc.
you are beautiful
She blah blah. Be doesn’t show how to cut the bulbs for propergating
Can’t you people get on camera and not act goofie….
nope 🙃
Why are you here? Why are you so miserable and why are you demanding everyone acts as miserable as you feel? Why are you trying to police how other people act at all? If it bothers you, make your own videos.
