Technique: Caladium de-eying and propagation
Caladium can be propagated by a technique called division. To produce tubers capable of dividing, it helps to grow small tubers into larger tubers. One way is to produce plants with more leaves capable of photosynthesizing, e.g. building up starch in the tubers. One of the best way to do this is using a technique called "scooping" which will remove the dominant growing point and produce more leaves. The result is a more attractive plant with will build up more energy and create greater enjoyment for the viewers. Learn the "scoop" in this article.
