Fertilize caladiums growing in containers every two weeks with a soluble liquid fertilizer to promote strong foliage growth.
A high quantity of fertilizer can cause Caladium plants to have small leaves. And can also hinder the growth of the plant. Both the overuse and underuse of Caladium can stunt the growth of your plant. So extra care is needed when applying fertilizer.
Regardless of whether you use a lot of fertilizer, only what’s needed by the plant will be utilized. Where does the excess go?
The leftover gathers on the soil as salts and blocks the ability of the plant to absorb water. Along the line, it can result in smaller leaves and stunted growth. Also, a lower amount of fertilizer might not be enough for your plant – leading to malnourishment and no growth.
If your plant is experiencing the issue of overuse of fertilizers, you can solve it by prolonged watering. This action eliminates the gathered salt and prevents any further accumulation of salts. Before doing this, make sure your plant’s pot has holes for proper drainage. And if it is in the garden, ensure the plant is in well aerated and free soil.
Preferably, Caladium is fertilized weekly during the growing season. Use Liquid fertilizers or pellets with a slow-releasing ability.
Maintain temperature above 70°F even at night. For best results, water should also be 60-70°F, keep evenly moist at all times. Moderate light levels are optimal and no fertilizer is necessary.
