Dappled to full shade, well drained, moist soil, rich in organic content. I get these most years. When they take off, they are gorgeous. I have mixed results however, for some reason. At the very least, find a new source. I don't do well overwintering them.
2021: Big bag of mixed from Van B. I didn't put any in a pot this year and instead planted them all along the front of the Front garden. So far, zero have come up. I think I might be done with caladiums - too finicky for me. I'd do better off to start more coleus from seed and put them out, I think. Update: A few came up here and there, but never got any size to them. I think I would have to prepare a special bed for them with amended soil and yada yada.
2019: Hardly any of these came up. A bag of mixed from Van B.
2018: Only a few came up from the mixed bag from Van B. I did manage to overwinter 1 bulb successfully.
