RE: Two chairs and a gardening update

I want to know which side of the world you are on. I'm in a tropical region, and these caladiums are thriving well with partial shade and a bit of morning sun, and filtered light. Their colors become brighter with enough sun but become dull when stuck indoors. I prefer them potted since I can always move them whenever they need sun or when they already had enough. This is just based on my experience with our caladiums. They are actually easy to grow, and as you said, they just come out like a mystery, because they actually have small tubers that remain alive in the ground even if they seem to vanish when the weather or any other environmental conditions become unfavorable. It's their dormant period. And when everything's favorable for them to come out, their leaves will slowly re-sprout. They're really amazing, that's why I love them! I guess maybe during winter, if you are in a four-season country, the tubers are in a rest mode underground, and when spring and summer arrive, they suddenly wake up. This is why they just seem to come out of nowhere. This plant is really fascinating! 💚
