Pruning caladium aaron — FAQ
When should I prune caladium aaron?
Autumn for full dormancy cutback; throughout the growing season for removing aging leaves. Cut individual leaf stems at soil level with clean scissors. Once all leaves decline in autumn, remove top growth entirely and store the tuber dry at 60°F / 15°C or above.
How often does caladium aaron need pruning?
As needed during the growing season; full cutback once annually in autumn. Caladium bicolor 'Aaron' needs minimal active pruning. Remove any yellowing, damaged, or aging leaves by cutting the stem at the base. The plant dies back naturally in autumn — cut all foliage to soil level at that point and let the tuber rest over winter before it re-emerges in spring warmth.
