My caladiums are really taking their sweet time this year, ah maybe it is just slow..and I finally have one leaf fully unfurled, hope is not lost!

I moved the container now to the side where it will easily get eastern sun, hope it will encourage the other bigger leaf to start unfurling some more!

With all this heat wave, I thought my caladiums will continue unfurling..I guess it is waiting for a brief cool down. Saw another growth very close to the big leaf yet to unfurl, looking at it now, it maybe a bud ..so the wait continues:

Container update, still this same container showing some leaves, and quite slow growth too! But I guess just have to be thankful it is still trying to show some more leaves. The bloomstalk still present, not yet open.

Isn't patience supposed to be one of those virtue thingybobs? I wonder how you get that.
Can't complain too loud about how the ball bounces when I'm the one who dropped it.

Just a Fall update on my caladiums. Though not as vigorous growing the first time around, it still managed some this year. I was expecting it to be slowing down now with the cooler temps at hand, but there are still new leaves popping up. So just enjoying all in stride Smiling I was hoping for some rain yesterday, but all we got were sprinkles as usual.

This container is areal suprise, I was resigned that nothing will show up this year on this one..and today one little leaf trying to unfurl. Hurray! One better than none!

Just a November 2016 update. No rains so far this November, and it has been cooler, daytime high of 70F and overnight varies 47F to 55F. I guess it is also enjoying the cooler air overnight and the added humidity with it.

Caladiums still doing okay, some new leaves still peeking. Seems like a delayed wake up but extended growing season this time around.

My caladiums are still up and about, though temps are cooler, it is still doing okay.
I may have kept the media in the container too wet, or the temps are just cool enough that mushrooms are sprouting as well in their containers:
