Author Garden: Caladiums anyone? floweringchild Dream Gardener Member # 10608 posted                       I kept my caladium bulbs in their respective pots thru the winter. As of yet, no sign of caladium sprouts. Anyone in higher zones such as mine seeing caladium sprouts? Needless to say, I am impatiently awaiting their presence. * * * * Plants: 272 | From: Metairie, Louisiana | Registered: Aug 2006  |  Seeded: 24.252.121.18 weezie13 Compost Queen!

And mine are dry soil.. and I wait a bit, then in March I usually start watering the pot, but not alot, just enough to wake the bulbs up.. * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

Thru winter, I barely sprinkled the caladium pots. I just started watering the soil a few days ago so I'm hoping I see something sometime soon. * * * * Plants: 272 | From: Metairie, Louisiana | Registered: Aug 2006  |  Seeded: 24.252.121.18 weezie13 Compost Queen!

I will put them in the window and see if that helps get them going. Thanks for the tip. Mine bloomed one year and it had a lemon fragrance.
