April 22, 2011Q.Caladiums
I have very small tubers which are generally growing well, some with many leaves and some with just one single large leaf. I did not de-eye my tubers as some suggest. They were started about four weeks ago inside with additional heat. I was wondering if I removed the large single leaf, would encourage more leaves to sprout?

Certified ExpertA.This article will help you with when:

The soil and light should not affect the colors, but some varieties do shift color as they age.

April 30, 2011Q.Length of Time for Caladiums to Sprout
I just planted over 75 caladiums bulbs (they are the small ones). I live in northern Florida and the weatheris 85 during the day and 65 at night. How long will it be before I see them sprouting?

Certified ExpertA.While caladium bulbs require warm soil temps in order to sprout, this does not seem to be a problem for your location. On average, bulbs sprout within a week or two if they have been stored for any period of time, as dormancy is a natural part of their life cycle. The lesser storage time, the longer they take to sprout.

Certified ExpertA.Are the whole leaves disappearing or falling off in addition to the holes in the leaves? Are the holes on the edges or in the center? Please let us know. This will help us identify your pest.
