Ya'll know I don't have much shade and found the best place for me to grow Caladiums is on our side porch that gets dappled shade from an overhead deck, and down below I hung a cheap matchstick blind on the end of the porch that faces West to give them a bit of shade from the hottest afternoon sun. Most of my pots were planted in early April, like the one above, but these weren't planted til June and mostly used left-over bulbs I gave out at our RU -- photo is mid-July. You can sorta see the shadows the blinds cast.
