By a mistake from the Belgian Post Service, my Caladiums got lost and eventually were found but arrived very late. Sad
They got instantly potted up at their arrival on 12 July., and took off quickly, showing their noses above the soil, but at the best it will still take a couple of weeks ,I guess, before they will be truly going, we will be mid-August by then, meaning their growing season will be short, around the end of September it usually gets chilly and wet, a combination Caladiums, we all know, don’t like, Sighing!
I am anxious to get them growing again next season, but will the bulbs have been building up enough strength for that? Maybe if I take them inside and have them growing another month or two?
Has anyone experience with too late planting of Caladiums for their zone?
