[@wewetstiyanel7290]

Thank you for making clarification on the dormancy period. I think the rain these few days ago made my Caladium not doing good. Before the summer ends I have these 3 Caladiums that had grown very big leaves and sturdy stems. But now they have reverted into small leaves. And leaning leaves I hope they could still bounce back. Thank you Sir

regarding fertilizer: I know White Queen gets the best color (distinct colors and beautiful separated colors) with Less fertilizer. If you go too heavy on the fertilizer, they stay pink for a long time / like 90+ % of the leaf's life. thanks for the video. I'm near Chicago, so Caladium mean SUMMER to me!

Good evening Atty. Plantito, very informative caladium care tips, maybe i can have same caladiums as yours only in my dreams🤗🤗🤗. I have 3 varieties before but they' re all gone now,i love caladiums but they don't love me, same with alocasia🤨🤨🤨😁😁😁

Parehong may dormant period kasi ang caladium at alocasia...doesnt mean tbeyre dead most of the time as long as may bulb pa

It's rainy season now but my calladiums are thriving so well. I just dont water them often

[@PinoyPlantito]

Mine too. Caladium dormant season in the tropics is less pronounced than it is in temperate zones

[@ShyDog827]

I could not believe the size of those caladiums. I just planted some to accompany my large alocasia, and I’m hoping they might grow large too because they have the right elements .🤞🤞

Good 👍 👍 👍

[@maria_nakajima]

Hi. Your vlog is very informative. Although I beg to differ the part about rainy season here in the Philippines being the dormancy period of caladiums because I have several varieties in my care and they become very lush during this time.

[@PinoyPlantito]

Hi i have read somwehere that its not the season that determines the dormancy of caladiums but their age and that the dormant season of caladiums in the tropics is not as pronounced as it is in temperate countries. Maybe thats the reason why the dormancy of my caladiums differ from others.

[@maria_nakajima]

​@@PinoyPlantito Good point. Also maybe because I am in Manila and you in Palawan totally different environment.

[@jetcelcastillo1844]

Caladiums really love rain water in shaded area okay lang silang maulanan basta nakakatagas ang tubig sa lalagyanan nila mas maganda kung sa ground mo cla itatanim lalaki sila ng husto mas mabilis silang dumami pag tag ulan sa summer sila nagiging dormant ...yan ang opinion ko dahil marami kaming tanim gabi gabi sa province edible man or ornamental

[@PinoyPlantito]

Thank you for sharing your expetience and opinion. Kahit dito sa mga comments if you read iba iba ang experience sa dormancy ng caladiums some have it in summer some in rainy season. Based on my research it is not the season that influence the dormancy but the age of caladiums and in tropics the peruod is less pronounced than in temperate countries. Kaya siguro iba iba ang experience natin.

[@peiqipianoharpprogress2415]

I bought a caladium online, it was very beautiful and big, after it arrived in my house for one day it started to droop and the leaves seemed dull and soft, I think it’s because of the rainy season. This morning I trimmed the stem, not sure what I do was right? Do you know how long does it take for them to grow back?
