Question – Last winter my fancy leaved caladiums rotted while in storage. What can I do to prevent this?
Answer – I lost some of my caladiums last winter also, due, I think, to improper drying of the tubers before they were stored. Therefore I’d recommend that you cure the tubers in the sun for , fifteen or twenty days first; then clean them and store in clean sand or peatmoss. If your caladiums, which are probably already packed away, were not sufficiently cured I’d suggest that you unpack them now, give them a few days’ airing in the sun or a warm room and repack them.
