I decided to hold off cutting off the leaves, they still look good. After our first cold rain last Nov 2, we had the sudden dip into chilly overnights in the low to mid 40's and our highs in the low to mid 60's. So far Caladiums are still holding. That is nice, comparing it to my coleus before at this temps they are dead already. So will further see when the next round of cold rains come about this coming Sun/Mon:

So just documenting how it looks like now: I do not know what cultivar that leaf with more white than green, that one seems so okay with the temps, still growing new ones. The ones with more green and red variegation, I think is just using up what is left on it, but still keeping its nice upright growth. I have stopped watering though, with the cooler temps, the soil has remained damp, just letting Mother Nature do the watering.
