A.D.R. is, by far, my favorite bulb company. Top quality products at a fair price and the best customer service out there.
Chris, I speak nothing but the truth. A.D.R. IS my favorite bulb company and I've never ever had even the smallest problem that A.D.R. hasn't taken care of to my complete satisfaction.

Caladium 'Spring Fling' is a striking variety with pink, translucent leaves accented by green veins. As the plant matures, its foliage deepens in color, transitioning from a white base with pink speckles to a rich pink hue. The stems are often dark, adding a dramatic contrast to the delicate leaves. Thriving in partial shade to full shade, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering to maintain its vibrant appearance. Ideal for containers, shaded borders, and indoor settings. 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.
