Can caladium bulbs (tubers) be saved from year to year?
A. Yes. Dig in the fall before frost and allow to dry in a well-ventilated but shady area. After 7 to 10 days, remove leaves and dirt then pack in dry peat moss, vermiculite or similar material for storage. Pack tubers so they do not touch each other. Dust with all-purpose fungicide such as Captan as you pack. Place container in an area where temperature won’t drop below 50 degrees F. Many people are very successful at saving tubers from year to year and their tubers get larger and larger.
