Caladium Bulbs, Fancy Mix, Pack of 10 (Ten), Easy to Grow, Colorful Mix, HOSTA, Country Creek Acres Brand

Gorgeous! I love them! The bulbs were big and healthy. Once they grew I saw that I received 5 different kinds! I planted 1 bulb per pot. All have sprouted!Cons: they took weeks to sprout.Pros: Once they sprouted they grew fast! Some are bigger than my hand. They are easy to care for. They seem to grow best in the shade. I burnt one in direct sunlight, but no problem I just cut it down to the soil line and new leaves started budding the next day!

Ordered from CARIBBEAN GARDEN (a nursery in Pennsylvania) APRIL 29th; they didn’t ship until MAY 28th, and were finally received (via 1st Class mail) on JUNE 1st. I received only 7 (not 10) dried (and most crumbling) bulbs inside a paper bag. I planted them within an hour after their arrival, taking the same care as I’ve done with all my bulbs, and marked their placement within my garden so I could closely monitor their progress and write an update to this review. Stay tuned...JULY 16th: Only ONE bulb has grown. I ordered from this same source (CARIBBEAN GARDEN) a second time. I did receive 10 bulbs in this second order (which also took more 30 days to arrive) which were also small and in poor condition upon arrival. Order #2 produced 5 plants. I will not order from CARIBBEAN GARDEN in the future. I’ve ordered Caladium bulbs from 5 other sources this year, all received in less than 10 days and all with a much superior success rate (93-100%). Bottom line: I will not order any product being fulfilled by CARIBBEAN GARDEN in the future.

Planting balls takes some time to sprout, but it surprises me with very large and beautiful leaves of different colors❤️It's so beautiful, although most of them are of the same type, it's really stunning. Thank you, merchant

No growth. Total waste EDIT: I waited for a month. All of these germinated beautifully. I would appreciate if we know the colors before planting to help set up.

I'm glad to see that 5 of the 10 bulbs have sprouted. The bulbs didn't look pretty dried out upon delivery. Also, something like a skunk or critter appeared to have dug some of them up. I replanted the ones that had been dug up that I spotted by the dug up hole. They are beautiful looked. Three varieties so far, as circled in my pictures. Hopefully, they are indeed perennial for the NE, and will reappear again next spring. Hopefully, more will also sprout. Unless they were duds or eaten by our resident skunk.

So after nearly 3 weeks I had zero growth on any bulbs and I was about to post a negative review. They arrived very dry and brittle and I had my doubts any would ever grow. I planted in rich moist soil and kept them moist for weeks. All of a sudden 7 out of 10 bulbs sprouted and are doing well and look like they are going to be quite beautiful. I did buy them late season but since I live in Phoenix I thought it would be a good time since temps stay warm into the fall here. Anyway so far the plants are doing well 3 have their first open leaf and they are very large. I didn't expect such large leaves and certainly didn't expect so many to grow so I'll have to separate them soon.

These were bulbs. Badly cared for, hallow in some places like it rotted. I tried to plant them anyway. Only 2 of 10 sprouted and I kept waiting for caladium. I dug up the bulbs and put them in a pot. I have been ripping off the plant thinking it was morning glory and much to my surprise I now have a morning glory bulb thing (2 actually) and that is not what was advertised, not what I ordered and the product is garbage. $25 for 10 bulbs of crap. I am trying to get a refund anyway because this is nonsense. If you recognize this plant and want to educate me, please do. Morning glory that grows from a bulb? I don't know. What I do know is I now have to wait another year and buy from someone else to move along. What a waste of time, money and energy.

My caladium bulbs are starting to open. It is like waiting for a surprise package to see what varieties that I have received. So far, four caladiums have emerged and two of them have opened, with the tips of two more peaking above the soil as of today. I will update my review in a few weeks. So far so good!Update: They have all opened and I have a great variety! Just beautiful! All of them are growing well. I would definitely buy again.
