| Maintenance Notes |
Caladiums can be an irritant if ingested. The ASPCA has more information on which plants may be harmful.
Since Heart to Heart Caladiums prefer heat and humidity and do not tolerate cold, soggy soils, for most gardeners who live in the north will have best results in containers, as the soil in pots or planters warms up faster and has better drainage so plants will not become soggy. Remember for best growth always keep the temperatures above 65 F.
A ¼ - ½ strength fertilizing every week or every other week is fine throughout the season, too strong a fertilizer can burn leaves, and since the leaves last all season you want to keep them looking fresh. Burning Heart Caladiums like to be moist at all times so avoid allowing them to dry out as it also causes leaves to yellow and drop.
Where the Heart to Heart Caladiums will do best depends a lot on your location within the US, since sunlight intensity varies depending on where you live. Here's a quick reference to help guide you to help you succeed.
