Caladium
Caladiums are grown for their showy, colorful, long stalked, heart-shaped leaves. They are extremely easy to grow in moist well-drained soil. These shade-loving but sun-tolerant plants thrive in heat and do well in container plantings.
Because they are tubers, caladiums can be cut into pieces and re-grown as long as each piece contains an “eye.”
