Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Caladium Fancy Leaf 'White Christmas' (Ships in Spring)

Caladium

Caladium 'White Christmas' is a striking foliage plant with large, heart-shaped white leaves accented by deep green veins. Thriving in partial shade to full shade, it prefers humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering to maintain its luminous appearance. This variety is heat- and humidity-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for shaded borders, containers, 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.

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.
