I know if you dig up a growing caladium there will be no "bulb". I start with holding water late in September and once the leaves have turned brown I dig the bulbs.... My theory: the roots feed off the leaves to "re-form" the corm or bulb that we store for next year. So maybe it's the same way with the illustris? (pic is thai beauty-my newest)
