No, they're not in the area covered since they are on the terrace. They get rain. That's it. The impatiens was always a good sign as a companion plant since it's quick to indicate when it's thirsty.

The pots of caladiums I had in gardens were all self watering pots (Walmart, cheap) and the irrigation system did very well by them. The reason for using those pots was so I could move them, if needed, and could always monitor the rain they got or the water they needed.
