Post #3201031

I want to do a mix of impatiens and caladiums for a morning sun bed that gets a lot of moisture. Our spring time temps are cold way too long to get caladiums going outside. I've tried it a few years and they never look really good till August. So want to start in the house. Does anyone have any good suggestions for starting them? I don't have heat mats and all that. I keep one of our rooms cool but it is bright in there. Would that be appropriate?

Also does anybody have any pictures of mass plantings of caladiums? I want to see how to mix White Christmas in so it blends. I just bought White Christmas and Florida Cardinal and was planning to use pink, red and white impatiens.

Thanks!

PS- going to cross-post over to Shade Plants also. Thanks!
