Planting Instructions from a 3.5" Pot:
- Preparation: Choose a location with partial to full shade and well-draining soil. Prepare the planting site by loosening the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and mixing in compost or organic matter to improve soil fertility and drainage.
- Planting:
- Remove the Pearl Blush Caladium from the 3.5" pot carefully, avoiding damage to the roots.
- Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball.
- Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
- Fill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the base of the plant.
- Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.
- Care:
- Water regularly to maintain consistently moist soil.
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Mulch around the plant to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
- Protect from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
- Overwinter indoors if grown in cooler zones; dig up tubers before the first frost and store in a cool, dry place.
By following these guidelines, your Pearl Blush Caladium will thrive, adding a touch of tropical elegance to your garden or indoor space.
