I am new to gardening and trying bulbs/tubers this year. I live within South Texas. I planted some Red Blaze Caladiums from Walmart in the north facing side of the house(very shaded from big oak tree & house) in the region of 3 weeks ago. We did have standard lamp rain for an entire week the week after i planted, so i didn't wet them. I dug down to check on them and they are not growing an roots that i can see. I accidently knicked one with my little shovel and inside it be all white and a short time gooey. My husband says they rotted. Another female told me to dig them up and put them somewhere sunnier. Idk, what to do. I hold another package of different Caladiums I didn't know where on earth to put, should i just plant those surrounded by instead? The tulips * Daffodils I planted have adjectives already sprouted. Please help. And I thank you for your time.
I own a houseplant infested near gnats--what can...
Answers:    Caladiums appropriate a lot longer to sprout than do daffodils and other cool-weather bulb plants. They DO obligation some sun. I don't personally approaching purchasing plants from Wal-Mart; they don't seem to hold any qualms about selling you last-year's merchandise as current. I recommend getting bulbs from a reputable nursery and paying a bit more, even if it ability you get not as much of bulbs.
Growing lucky wicker (dracaena sanderiana)?
Tulips and Daffodils sprout earlier within the spring than Caladiums so you would expect them to grow earlier, but sounds resembling your Caladiums were put out to precipitate, they shouldn't be put out before April as cold weather will hurt them.
