How to prune caladium candidum

Autumn, as foliage dies back. Let leaves yellow naturally to allow the tuber to reabsorb energy, then cut foliage to soil level with clean scissors. Lift tubers, cure in a warm dry spot for a few days, and store in a cool, dry location until replanting in spring.

Annually at dormancy; remove damaged individual leaves as needed during the season. Caladium 'Candidum' dies back seasonally and needs no pruning while in active growth. Remove individual leaves only if they are damaged or diseased. In autumn, when the plant naturally senesces, cut dying foliage to the base before lifting and storing tubers for winter dormancy.
