Hi all,
I am fairly new to gardening, but I fell in love with Caladiums and had to give it a try. This year I was successful in propagating my Caladiums and have ended up with 150ish babies. At the most they are around 2 inches tall right now. My problem is that I live in SC and it is time to start bringing in my larger Caladiums for the winter and I am unsure of how to store my babies. The tubers/bulbs are the sizes of peas right now, will they withstand being dug up and stored? I do not have the window/house space to grow them all inside over the winter. I'd hate for all my work to be for nothing, any suggestions on what I can do to save my babies? Thank you

NOT an expert here, but do you have a cellar or place that will not freeze, but that maybe you could set up a light on a table for them? Or I wonder if they could go dormant as babies?? I am most curious to hear from someone that actually knows :)
