Hi Purple, Just can't see my way clear to throwing out perfectly good plants. Green Grin! I'm storing them all potted on a shelf in the basement. Dry and dark. The exception is one pot of Moonlight I dug up the tubers and will see how they overwinter dry, in a box. One thing I noticed is the size of the tubers. The seller advised scooping out the center growth point to encourage more side shoots/leaves. That worked like a charm. From 3 tubers in that pot, I now have 14+, but less than 1/2 the size of the parents.

As to Caladium, they'll be a fixture from now on. Lots of choices, some really cool patterns, the splotchy ones, the ruffled and .... Blinking Confused Sad
