BULB SIZE & WHAT THAT MEANS TO YOU 

There is a lot of misunderstanding about caladium bulb size.  Larger bulbs DO NOT guarantee larger leaves, just more of them.  Larger bulbs DO NOT make for taller plants either.   Leaf size and height are determined by many different variables, even when comparing plants of the same variety.  The easy short version is - a larger the caladium bulb will produce more leaves.  Larger bulbs also tend to reach maturity more quickly making them an ideal choice for areas with a shorter growing season.  Follow this link for more detailed information - BULB SIZE EXPLAINED.
