Caladiums 💚 Some start nodding off for their Winter sleep 🦋 While others power on 💚 Blog #88

Caladiums enter dormancy due to a combination of environmental and biological factors. Temperature fluctuations, reduced daylight hours, and seasonal changes signal some plants to slow their growth and conserve energy.

However, certain Caladiums continue to thrive when exposed to warm conditions, consistent watering, and adequate fertilization. Additionally, different Caladium varieties exhibit unique dormancy cycles, with some remaining active longer than others. Microclimate variations, soil conditions, and genetic differences can also influence whether a Caladium goes dormant or keeps growing.

By understanding these factors, gardeners can better manage dormancy periods and ensure vigorous regrowth in the next growing season.
