development of caladium cultivars have been largely a matter of speculation. Caladium bicolor and C . marmoratum were thought to be the chief parent of fancy-leaved cultivars ( Hayward, 1950 ; Wilfret, 1993 ), and C. picturatum or C. schomburgkii

Caladium ( C. bicolor spp.), a member of the plant family Araceae (aroid), is valued for its long-lasting colorful foliage. Caladium is widely planted in gardens and landscapes and used as ornamental plants. After years of plant breeding, caladium

Caladiums can be excessively large relative to the container in which they are grown, and plant growth regulators (PGRs) are required for height control. No industry standard has been set for optimal height of caladiums, but plants 25 to 28 cm tall

The mode of leaf spot color, venation color and pattern inheritance and differences in the apparent strength of leaf petioles were investigated. Progeny from self pollinations of Caladium bicolor cv. Painter's Palette and two commercial cultivars (`Florida Cardinal' and `Aaron') were utilized in a pedigree and back cross breeding program to delineate and prove a proposed model for the mechanisms controlling spot and vein color inheritance as well as the inheritance of venation patterns. Differences in the apparent strength of leaf petioles in Caladium were observed in the field, Anatomical and mechanical analysis using a Kramer Shear Cell, showed significant differences among 12 experimental lines, The relative strength of the petioles were correlated to petiole pigmentation, with darker colored petioles being stronger and less prone to bending than lighter colored petioles.
