Caladiums grow best in warmth and humidity with consistently moist soil; avoid cold, soggy conditions. The profile lists USDA zones 10–11, so treat it as a seasonal foliage plant where winter temperatures fall below its hardy range. ## Maintenance Keep the soil moist through active growth without leaving the tuber in standing water. Warm conditions support growth; the breeder advises keeping temperatures above 65°F and using light, regular feeding. Caladiums may irritate if ingested. In frost-prone regions, lift tubers before freezing weather and dry and store them for spring planting, following UF/IFAS guidance.
