How to Pick the Right Caladium Bulb
Choosing a caladium bulb is simple. Look for firm, healthy bulbs without soft spots. Bigger bulbs usually produce more leaves. For bright colours, go for fancy-leaf varieties; for pointed, narrow leaves, strap-leaf types are a great pick.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to plant caladium bulbs in India?
The best time to plant caladium bulbs in India is February to April, when the weather starts warming up. Caladiums love warmth and humidity, so they grow fastest during spring and early summer. Avoid planting during cold winters as the bulbs prefer soil temperatures above 21°C.
Can caladium bulbs grow indoors?
Yes! Caladiums are excellent indoor plants for Indian homes. They grow beautifully in bright, indirect light near a window. Keep them away from harsh afternoon sun to prevent the leaves from scorching. They also do well on shaded balconies and in living rooms.
How long do caladium bulbs take to sprout?
Caladium bulbs typically sprout within 2 to 4 weeks after planting, depending on soil warmth and moisture. Warmer conditions speed up sprouting. Once the first shoots appear, growth picks up quickly and you will see full, colourful leaves within 6 to 8 weeks.
How do I store caladium bulbs during winter?
When caladium leaves start to die back in winter, reduce watering gradually. Once the foliage has dried, dig out the bulbs and store them in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated spot. Wrap them loosely in newspaper or dry sand. Replant them the following spring for fresh, colourful growth.
Are caladiums safe to keep at home with children or pets?
Caladium plants contain calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation if chewed or ingested. It is best to keep them out of reach of young children and pets such as cats and dogs. They are perfectly safe to handle and display as long as they are not eaten.
Do caladium bulbs grow in pots?
Absolutely — caladiums are one of the best plants for pot gardening in India. Use a medium-sized pot with drainage holes and a light, well-draining potting mix. A 6- to 8-inch pot works well for a single bulb. They are ideal for balconies, windowsills, and tabletop displays.
