Even with the cool wet spring we had this year, my plants have flourished with little attention aside from regular waterings and daily conversations. :-)
My 'White Queen' plants were situated in an area where they received more sunlight than I'd expected. The result was leaf color about the same shade of red as I personally get when I get a sunburn. Besides the change in color, the plants had no other adverse reaction to the exposure.
One other thing I'd like to add. Several of my caladiums flowered! I was very surprised to see such a beautiful bloom, especially after reading that the bloom was "inconspicuous." It started out looking like a swollen leaf...but opened into a gorgeous (at least to me) Peace Lily or Spath-like flower.
Needless to say, Caladiums have made a spot in my permenant garden plans.

Caladiums can be potted up in early spring, and kept in the greenhouse to get an early start on spring growth, or directly planted once soil is warm and danger of frost is past. Regular watering will keep them growing all season.
Lift tubers in the fall, and store in moist, cool (but not cold) peat or other medium. Or can be treated as a warm-season annual.
