LOL, I've gotten really lazy as I've gotten older and I've never fertilized my Caladium's or cut off the blooms. I have many Caladiums planted in containers as well as a few in the ground and they all seem to be doing really well this year. Caladiums do die back and disappear here during the winter months but many will reappear if we have mild winters without numerous freezes. I planted @ 45 bulbs this spring but I also found a few re-sprouting from years past ... I even found one growing in a potted Dracaena on the back porch .... which I don't remember planting there but did I mention that I'm lazy? I do sometimes just stick things in the nearest pot. Here are some photos I took yesterday and today.
