It always helps to add your location so advice can be more specific. Just go to the little person in the top right hand corner of this screen and click on "my profile" and you can add a region or even just a zone, your choice.

For example, if you live in zone 8 or lower on the east coast of the US, Caladium bulbs need to be dug and stored for the winter. At my last home the soil never got below 55 degrees f but because it stayed damp in the winter caladium bulbs just rotted. People nearby who were blessed with sandy soil which drained well had no problems. Good luck with your new plant.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
