How I Dig and Store Caladiums

[@mkas291]

The Caladiums are so beautiful

[@trishferrer8209]

Linda, I love your window box! It's like a raised bed. No stooping or squatting, minimal bending, wow! I have some MAGNIFICENT caladiums with leaves of green border, deep pink middle and veins, and small white "dots" or splotches. They have done very well this spring/summer! Now I am hearing about this method of digging up the tubers, which I plan to do very soon. My caladiums are mingled in with giant lime green hostas (plantain lilies) which will be in my face while harvesting the caladiums. It was recommended to use sand or sawdust to store them. Neither seems convenient to get a hold of, but I may try one or the other anyway. I do not want to mess this up. Thank You Again for a wonderful, inspiring video! :D

Go for it!

You know me so well. Write where you store them. 😂😂😂. Next spring I’ll be tearing the house apart looking for the bulbs. 🤣🤣🤣

VERY Helpful! PLEASE do a follow up video when you inspect them in a few weeks and put them to rest for final storage to over winter. Thank you!

[@joywhitley3141]

Yay!!! Thank you so much for the good info. Now I know what to do. I appreciate you. 💕

[@aletoaleto727]

Wow you have so much space in that window box! I do love the two trees u have there... what kind are they? Thanks for sharing with us!🤗

[@nataliaayersman9297]

Would love ❤️ to see all your indoor plants 🌱 and the ones you bring in

[@sharonrichardson6563]

I do great at pulling them up, not so good at storing 😊 Now I've got your great advice for this year's bulbs. Thank you.

[@Li-Anderson]

Load us up Linda!😊I feel confident and at peace, about my garden🌳🌲 for the holidays ☃️🥧🎄🍾 I'm so excited! Thank you!

[@paulahaynes6131]

Thank you Linda. I have removed some of mine but leaving some that are more protected until the last minute. I had no idea how to store them so this has been very informative. Can’t wait to see what you do next in your beautiful window box.

[@elizabethsharp3318]

Wow I did this yesterday! Aaaaaand now I realize I need to go put them back out in the sun for a week or two to dry further 😅 Thank you Linda!

[@Onandpopping23]

I’m so glad you went over this so I know what I what to do with mine. I want to know can I keep the bulbs in a mason jar with lid or no?

[@kallienicolay738]

Have you tried shared paper? I use paper for my dahlias inside card board box, less mess than pite

[@DixieGirl9876]

Your white caladiums have been so pretty, I plan on adding some to my garden next year. I've been re-potting (otherwise I seem to bring in tiny critters) more of my house plants that have lived outside all spring/summer and bringing them back inside. A glorious day to be outdoors, in the dry cool air. Happy Fall!

[@robbingarcia4072]

Completely off topic, but would you share the name/paint color of your window trim? I love it and think that it makes everything around it - from plants to brick and stone - just pop!

[@shanikahettige9742]

Did you ever find out? I love it!

[@beckywarren6994]

So adding them to your calendar...what month do you think you’ll get them back out? I’m zone 7a so I’m curious since I believe we’re the same zone.

[@shanikahettige9742]

I was wondering the same! I’m in 7 too, in Maryland

[@LauraJoyMaker]

First ^^ love you
