I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Caladium 'Royal Flush' is a striking variety with deep red leaves bordered by rich green edges. This sun-tolerant caladium thrives in both full sun and shade, making it a versatile choice for gardens and containers. It was awarded "Favorite Sun Caladium" at the 2013 Ohio State University Trials. Preferring well-drained, organic-rich soil, it benefits from regular watering to maintain its vibrant foliage. In colder climates, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors before winter to ensure a fresh display the following season.

Planting: Wait until soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. Plant tubers 1 to 2 inches deep with the knobby side up.
Location: Prefers partial to full shade, though some newer varieties tolerate morning sun.
Soil: Loose, well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5) enriched with compost or peat moss.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid letting it dry out completely.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to boost moisture.
Temperature: Grows best between 70–85°F. Not frost-tolerant—plant after the last frost and lift tubers before the first.
Fertilization: Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season.
Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and spent foliage to maintain appearance.
Pest & Disease: Watch for fungal issues, mealybugs, and aphids. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Overwintering: In colder zones, lift tubers in fall, dry them, and store in a cool, dry place until spring.
