Caladiums like high light, feed and water and should be
provided good space. Growth regulators significantly improve habit and
shelf life. Grown properly (see- Recipe for Success) a consumer can hardly
resist the appeal of caladiums. Retailers should
select wholesale pot producers that reliably provide them with compact
sturdy full plants with appropriate shelf life.
To avoid stretching, caladiums should be unboxed immediately
after receipt from the pot producer. If received on carts they should be
removed immediately and placed in a single layer in the display areas. They
should be watered daily.
Low maintenance caladiums always represent a good bet for
spring and early summer sales. |
