Beautiful in shaded to partially shaded areas of landscape.White Christmas is a white Fancy Leaf caladium variety. These shade to partial sun loving caladium bulbs or tubers are great for adding easy color to your late spring and summer plantings. White Christmas is an old, very hearty caladium variety that is considered tall in height (2.5 ft). White Christmas caladium bulbs are tropical foliage plants that are easy to grow in landscaping, pots and planters. White Christmas caladiums have very large leaves with dominant wide green veins on a white background with undefined green borders. White Christmas would show well behind low growing foliage or other shorter caladiums. White caladiums add texture and contrast and make beautiful accents against other green foliage. They brighten the dark, shaded areas of your landscaping. Caladium bulbs originated in the Amazon Basin, which is why they require and thrive in the warm summer day and night temperatures. Caladiums are from the Araceae family and mix well with other annuals, Hosta’s, ferns, and foliage.For a bushier potted plant (shorter and with more leaves) remove the terminal, or main, bud. This is called de-eyeing, and is common in commercial Caladium pot production. Moisten the soil well when planting tubers. Soil should be kept slightly moist until sprouting occurs. Usually the initial watering at planting time is enough until first sprouts appear. After sprouting, water often and well. When planting, mix in some ordinary garden fertilizer, such as 6-6-6 or 8-8-8, according to package directions. Any house plant fertilizers will work.
