    Prettier than any poinsettia ever dreamed to be. The person at Proven Winner that came up with this idea really needs a gold STAR. The plants are beyond beautiful. An outstanding grower. They look so pretty in your home. And it is money well spent.

    This was my first year planting the bulbs. I put some in the ground and some in pots in the house. I put the ones in the house on a heating pad and set it in front of a window. The ones I had in the house came up way sooner than the ones outside. The ground has to really warm up before they will come up. All came up beautifully! They were so, so easy to take care of. Well, I did absolutely nothing to any of them. Rain storms did not cause them to collapse, as I aniticipated. They all just grew and stayed there and looked the same until fall. The ones I planted in the ground were in areas I did not think anything would grow because it is really wet and moldy, but as I said, they all came up perfectly. I highly recommend them. Also, I had a few pop up in the sunniest area of my flower gardens. How they popped up on the other side of the house, I will never know. I dug some of them up and put them with the rest of them; however, the one I left in the sun did fine.

    My my, you picked all the prettiest ones. The red-veined on dark green + pink blotches one on the table right at the start and the pink-white-green ones on the sides are my favorites.
    But in combinaison with other Caladium or other plants, the white+green margin can do wonders.
    Waiting for garden centers to sell them when it warms up a bit here. I do recall years ago some big garden center recieved a batch of a single nice cultivar in the Winter.
    Did fantastic in their greenhouse, but very cold Winter means our houses' air is so dry from all the heating, they don't stay nice for long in a house when grow out-of-season like that.
    You also can't just keep humidity much higher than 35% without the windows dripping from condensation when it's -15C and under, with the occasional -30C.
    Thank you for showing those nice plants.

      P.S : I got my hands on a potted Caladium Frieda Hemple last year and kept it as a houseplant in a sunny West facing window. In the Fall the leaves died. I unpotted and kept the tubers ( which had more or less stayed the same size ) at room temperature before planting them again in early April, and all the tubers from the original pot grew back. They are also blooming. Totally worth it.

    You have such a unique fireplace. Have you thought of putting timed candles in there if you are not going to be using it a lot . Also I had a 5 Caladium plants in full sun ( southeast NC) and they did great. Love your channel, ideas and just everything. Thank you for sharing Benjamin seeing his tree brought back fond memories of my boys when they were young. oh FYI our Dollar Tree has those nutcrackers again this year. Happy Thanksgiving.
