Hi I am looking for Caladium bulb of any kind. If you have extra, please let me know. thanks.

Hi Stupid :) Now, I don't know squat about growing Caladiums, but 2,500 foot-candles seems a lot. Aren't they shade plants? I would think these would be happy in 1,000 foot-candles. I'm guessing 10" pots? That would make about ten square feet you need to light and you really need about 15,000 lumens. Boost up all my numbers if they need more light or you have bigger pots. Normally you would be looking for efficiency and long life, but in your case you should just find the cheapest fluorescent bulbs that you can and add them up to about 200W. All that changes if you plan on using the bulbs every year or to grow other stuff, then you'd want a more efficient system that cost more up front. So you'll probably end up with a bunch of cool white 40W T12 tubes from Home Depot and the cheapest shop lights you can find. Efficiency and long life in this case would probably be a 250W metal halide lamp costing several hundred dollars. For seedlings you can stick the tubes right on the top of the seedlings and get really intense light, but that doesn't work with big plants because the top gets fried and the bottom doesn't get enough light. You need you tubes maybe 6"-12" from the top of the leaves and you need to rig a reflector around the tubes to send all the light down onto the plants. You can buy them, but maybe you should just bend some aluminium sheet into a half-circle, or use mylar, or whatever you can lay your hands on. A totally different approach would be to rig a temporary heated greenhouse affair outside. Sunlight is free and it seems like all you would have to do is keep it warm for a couple of months.

Have you done a web search for them yet? I find most of my answers by doing that before posting a question.
