My Caladium Collection & How I Grow Them 💚🌿

[@JButterfly198]

I am just sooooo jealous because your CALADIUM are all beautiful!!! I just started to love plants and i started take care and planting even collecting plants i wanted!!! I am now obssessed with CALADIUM and i hope i can have all of those collection you have!!!! Im soooo love it!!!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Wow Hannah you are the Caladium queen!! they are the most beautiful plants I have seen in a long time, and yours are so stunning, with the largest leaves I have ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring me to grow more plants of every kind. Stay safe and I will see you soon, XOXO, bye for now.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

She does have huge leaves on hers it may be because they're a couple years old and the bulb is bigger and of course it has to do with the great care and the grow light she has for them. They are related to the allocation colocasia and in the elephant ear family so they can grow in the right circumstances to have huge leaves

[@VitaminV29]

When I see your caladiums I picture dinosaurs walking past them 🦕🦖🌱 that’s how they look to me! So cool. They are just amazing.

[@zedgreenfingers]

That Florida moonlight is just amazing and the size of those leaves is just stunning. Because I have such restricted light in my apartment all of mine are slower to take off but since adding them to my green house and putting them under my grow light they have finally decided to start growing and there is a lot happening finally with tons of growth on the way. Great video as per usual and cant wait to see which ones end up in that spectacular garden you have. Love your content as always its so inspirational. 🙂

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Plants_and_paints I had to move them from under the grow light this week as they got too big!! My Florida moonlight is now in the living room 🤍🌱... two are planted outside in the garden and rest in my office... 😆🌿🌱 Glad yours are now taking off, looking forward to seeing them! 🌱

[@MrWhitney4e]

Wow~ I had no idea how big Florida Moonlight gets!! Just planted three tubers in one pot and I'm afraid they will be rather too crowded. Yikes!! Oh, well...Can't wait to see them emerge and find out how they do for me.

[@gretap3917]

They can grow big on small pots just like any alocasia ,to big pot they get root rot, do not go by leave size just go buy tuber size ,2 inches around space bigger than the tuber you got , just make shure tge pot is deep so roots can grap a good grip and wont flip over wen the leaves grow to big .

[@JohnHeng-wh4uh]

Wow. Amazing. I don't know if I can ever get mine that big

[@jerryhall7493]

So beautiful, my favorite!! I plan on buying a pot of them this week, if the Nursery is open. It will be my first time out since 1st of Mar. Can't think of a better reason to go out! Was hoping to plant bulbs, that didn't work out...Thanks Hannah, enjoy your videos so much.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Jerry Hall they are stunning aren’t they! I’d have more if I had the room 😆💚🌿 Sounds like a great reason to go out! Hope you manage to find some 🌿 Thanks so much for watching 🍍🌴🌺

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Jerry what happened when you planted your bulbs because they're very easy to get to grow. They don't like to be planted deep in the soil and until they actually sprout you really shouldn't do much except sprinkle a little water on the soil. When you plant the bulbs they don't have any roots to absorb the water so that's why you don't water them. You just sprinkle little water on the surface. The soil temperature can't get below 60 degrees or they start to rot especially if you thoroughly watered the pot. I grow mine here in America in the ground or in flower pots but the trick is they absolutely hate cold wet feet. If we have a rainy end of August they look beautiful and you hate to dig them up to store them for next year but you have to. If you don't when they finally start to show signs of going dormant they're already rotted in the ground. They like to dry out between waterings. I had some from last summer and I just left them in their pots enjoyed them in the house after I brought them in from outside when the weather got too cold. They then went dormant so every once in awhile I sprinkled a little water on them just to keep them from drying out completely. They have now sprouted backup and I may do a video and the next couple days and post on my channel. Hannah's caladium so beautiful and she's very successful with them inside which most people are not because they are really outside tropical plants.

[@srirachaaaa]

Oh myyy gawd this is my flippping dream. Im in love with caladiums

[@mikedinni6318]

[@lisab.1595]

Elise and Frog in a Blender are two of my all time favorites. Another very favorite of mine are the Flamingo Caladiums. The pink is so intense in the Flamingo, it almost glows. This year I did a planter full of the sheer white and sheer pink and that came out just beautiful, so delicate.

[@tramany7]

[@jamieilikeit]

Amazing. The size of that Florida Moonlight! Ive got the same issue as some others. Very slow to start despite keeping them warm and watered. But i do have a couple leaves on my Candidum and several shoots on my Frieda Hemple. Hoping for good size plants this year and maybe even bigger next year.

[@nemesisproject7994]

Gorgeous

[@mardel3]

I don't any caladiums, I would just kill them. You have beautiful plants you are definitely a plant queen. Thanks for sharing your lovely plants.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Try growing them outside in a flower pot over the summer. Then when they die back and go to rest and go dormant just leave them alone give them a Sprinkle or two of water every once in a while and in the spring they will come back again. They don't really die they go dormant when they don't like conditions unless you've made them cold and Soggy in the pot then they will rot. But don't throw them away if the bulb is still hard it's still alive just hibernating so to speak

[@elainefigueira1]

Wow, poor frog 🐸! Beautiful plants. They're so healthy!

[@sally6394]

Your plants are lovely. Can i ask where did you purchase them please.

[@anetamarkowska7011]

I have miss muffet and two leaves that were getting a little bit more sun got a couple brown spots on it now so I assume they burned a little.. these are the leaves that are more open than the rest also so really don’t know where should I place it now 😅 it is also droopy looking I have not repotted is as the soil mix looks good.. I only got it recently and once I’ve watered it soil seemd moist for so long I’ve got scared that I’ve overwatered it.. I’ve read that I should water it every other day in the summer so I’m really confused

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

MissHellfire 1606 I need a new house 😆🌿🌴

[@gardeninginthedesert]

Min didn't do well in the house. I put them outside but they all flopped over so I cut them down. Three are coming up so I expect the rest will too. They're in a shady spot, I'm hoping for more leaf and less stem this time.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Just make sure you don't let them get wet and Soggy especially if the temperature gets below 60 degrees Fahrenheit they will rot in the pot. I have grown them for years in the ground and lately I have been just growing them in pots and then bringing them inside and letting them go dormant. I'm going to do a video online and the next couple days and post them on KZbin

[@gardeninginthedesert]

@@kathleenmurphy2379 Thanks. I'll look out for the video. Mine are in the ground now. Not sure why they kept going so leggy indoors.

[@gretap3917]

Caladium are tricky , this is my 4 attemp at growing them in a cover patio ,I had to put grow light full expectrum aboved them but not to close to have leaft grow espace otherwise the leaves will burn ,ouside is to hot for them , You got to find the proper soil mixt that stay moist but drain well I had to make my own ,with perlite ,lava rock ,cow manure and worm casting . Like 70 porcent perlite and 30 of the rest . I have one that is down okayish ,I have another one wich is doing very good and flowering and I have anotherone tgat is doing amazing ,there were experiments because last year I kill them all .The thing is that growers are hibridizing the caladiums to be able to take more sun ,(but not Texas kind of sun) that is to much , but if you put them in shade they also don't do well because of the genetic change , my grow lights are on for 20 hours a day ,only 4 rest period.

[@Swiatek-ku4jc]

Do they die off in winter or does the grow light keep them growing?

[@jackhagenaars165]

You are the caladium queen! When caladiums get brown edges what is that from? Low humidity? Wind burn? Sun burn?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Can be from a number of things.. lack of humidity, sun burn, over watering, lack of light, root rot

[@emmapreece273]

Amazing caladiums! I bought two bulbs from Farmer Gracy, planted them on the 29th April. Still nothing yet. Not sure if I’m being a little impatient or if they have not had the right conditions. 😅 I fear I might have overwatered them initially and not placed in a warm enough position. They are currently on a south facing warm window sill, fingers crossed they haven’t rotted 🤞🏼🌱

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Emma Preece it can take them around a month to come up in the right conditions (can vary). Yes go easy on the watering until you see growth. I only water mine when I plant them and then not again until I see growth 🌿

[@anasofiaguajardo1788]

Enjoyed your video! Question , mine have become droopy and they are still in the nursery pot. Not sure what I am doing wrong, the three biggest leafs are droopy but do have a lot growing at the same time!! Any advise! Thanks!

What happen then in the winter? I believe they die off? And then you keep it dry and bring it back in spring?

Peam Burapa yes that’s right they go dormant for winter then come back in spring 🌿

[@anamariacojocari3394]

What pot size do you use when you first pot the tubers?

[@michellec.4994]

So.. are these from bulbs? I don't have a grow light.. what do you recommend to increase the humidity level? I dug mine up from outdoors.. leaves are dying but I see new sprouts!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Yes I grow them from bulbs every springtime and then they start going dormant November time… I dry store the bulbs for winter. I would recommend getting a humidifier to raise the humidity in your home

[@michellec.4994]

Ok.. well.. if these die out I'll just wait til spring to buy bulbs...thanks for the information

[@smileyc6234]

This is the second video I’ve seen of yours and your Caladiums. They are absolutely beautiful!!! I recently got a red flash but it’s still quite small. I’m trying to get them bigger and stronger (their stems are quite thin and some need to be tied to a stake). I notice also that one leaf tip is browning and yellowing going inward deeper to the leaf? What would you say is the cause of this? I also haven’t gotten my watering schedule right I think. It came in a small pot, and when I do the finger test and the moisture meter, I’d have to water every other day? I’m not sure if that’s excessive? But I do notice it drains out the home fairly well and quickly when I water it? Any opinions or recommendations? 😊

[@smileyc6234]

By the way, I live in the Philippines in south east Asia so I’m in a tropical country. I recently got a grow light too and use it when the monsoons start because there isn’t much sunlight. I keep my caladium (and other plants) completely indoors by a north facing window. Hoping for your advice 😊

[@swapnatalele3565]

Is it possible to grow caladiums in dry conditions like Jalgaon Maharashtra India

[@justbe11]

So once you take them away from the grow lights and you keep them in as a house plant do you just need to keep them in bright indirect light for them to stay big and healthy? I've been wanting to buy one but our shops say they're annuals, I'm assuming for outside of course. So just curious for inside care. 🙃

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

LB yes that’s right they will still need really bright light. I’ll be putting a couple outside and the other two in bright spots in my home 🏡💚🌿
