Planting and growing information
Plant Caladium 'Ballet Slippers' tubers when soil temperatures reach 65-70°F, typically in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Position tubers 2-3 inches deep in rich, well-draining soil, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. These tropical beauties thrive in partial to full shade in zones 10-11, but perform beautifully as seasonal plantings in cooler regions. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging and provide protection from strong winds to preserve their delicate foliage.
