I ordered from Caladiums For Less for the first time last year. He was so friendly and nice to deal with, and the plants... WOW!!! Watch the classified forum this winter for his offers.
When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.

Monika, when you order next year, this vendor is the best. Smiling Thumbs up
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

@plantmanager - Yes, they can be grown as house plants. You are going to want to put them near a window though so they can get as much light as possible. Otherwise they will tend to get tall and leggy

@lovemyhouse - Thank You for the kind words Debra!!
