Caladium Red Flash,(10 Bulbs) Thrives in Heat and Humidity, Elephant Ears

Great looking Caladiums. Purchased twice. They reseed & come back better second year

I ordered these and planted them and after 50 days none of my bulbs ever sprouted.i reached out to the company and they replaced my order. The new bulbs are just piercing the ground.

They never grew. They had optimal growing conditions. Dry rotted!! Never again will I buy bulbs. Terrible to take advantage of folks!

Edit: Wow! I’ve never seen a caladium flower before! These bulbs were gorgeous all year, and have kept their bright colors through September here in zone 5b ———————————— I was hesitant to buy bulbs from Amazon, especially from a non-Prime seller. However, they worked out GREAT this summer! Each raised planter in front of my house has 5 bulbs. Some didn’t grow at first because I couldn’t tell which side was up on some of them and the evil squirrels kept digging through my planters and knocking the bulbs out or leaving them on top of the soil to dry out. After 20+ replantings they finally started to grow. I’m still getting new leaves every few days. They’re bright with more red than green, and keep their red color. They don’t fade (at least not yet) so I don’t have to deadhead them or do anything but water when the soil is dry. Once established they don’t seem to need much water either. Mine are in full sun for 6 hours and dappled sun the rest of the day. For companion plants, something low and vining like a sweet potato vine work well, as would something very tall. Lemongrass wasn’t tall enough. These plants get to roughly 18” high and 6 to 8 inches wide. They crowded out geraniums and a few other moderate height annuals I tried in the containers. Next year I’ll just stick to caladium, a few vines and short bright plants, maybe in a white color. I’m very happy with these bulbs. I hope they overwinter well in my garage and grow again next summer. If they come back, they are a great investment.

Bulbs finally came up after being in ground for one month. Beautiful leaves.

Had trouble keeping the squirrels away from the planted bulbs. Once I got pass that the plants are great.

All I can say is be patient, especially if you live 8n an area that hasn’t received much rain. I find that caladiums don’t come up until the temp is mid 80’s, and there has been a good hard rain. 3 Stars until I can lay eyes on them.

Good
