They give so much, yet need so little.

Thank you for the nice comments & thumbs. Smiling
This is the first year we've grown them. Better late than never. Rolling my eyes.

Here is a slideshow of Caladium 'White Queen', and
a few others outside. http://cal3d.com/NGA2020/calad...

So easy to grow. I had to put WQ in a pot with no drainage
in the living room window (also in a few pots outside).
Just added R/O water as necessary, and she did fine. Smiling

They really let you know when they're tired & want to go to sleep, too. Sticking tongue out

I've let them dry out, and will lift & store for the winter, hoping for
even better show in 2021.
