Three fun facts about Caladiums:
1. Since they’re a low-light plant, you can keep them as houseplants for a pop of color or grow them outside in subtropical or tropical regions. Plant in pots or in mass plantings for a dramatic look.
2. Caladiums do flower, but it’s rare. They’ll produce small blooms that feature a green or pink spathe with a white spadix.
And 3. Caladiums will go dormant. In our grow zone, they’ll typically drop their leaves in late summer or early fall before hurricane season. You can dig up the tubers to avoid rotting, storing them in a cool, dry spot, but it’s not necessary. If you’re growing them indoors, they can go dormant at any point depending on the conditions. When that happens, keep the bulb(s) in the pot but cut back on watering.
