Dig Up Caladiums

My caladiums are starting to look a little worse for wear.

Like cannas, caladiums need to be dug up in the fall and replanted in the spring. However, unlike cannas, it is better to dig up the caladiums before the first frost.

If possible, allow the leaves to dry up and fall off naturally. This will ensure the bulbs have time to absorb nutrients.

Ideally, caladiums should be stored at 70 degrees or warmer, so avoid storing them in an unheated garage or in the basement. (Cannas should be stored in a cool, dark place.)
