Those Caladium are fantastic. Lari Ann posted that the tubers go dormant over on the Aroids Forum which got me thinking. Yours are great and I'll have to try some in the spring. Re: the Alocasia, are you kidding me. They're not sold locally so I've been agonizing over trying one. What temp. is the room you store them in? I store my Callas, EEars and banana in the basement @ maybe 60F. Do they need light? Sounds like they pretty much stay dormant. I usually plant in late May. Does that jibe or are you earlier?
