finally, my calladium lives!

Before the weekend rains, I was anxiously looking for signs of life from my caladium container sitting on our back porch. No such luck.



Two others out front had no signs of life either so I was thinking about alternative plantings on all three.

After the rains, though, I was gratified to see that the back porch caladium has given me pause about my plans and sent out not one, not two, but three itsy bitsy shoots!



Thank God for the rains!

I don't know what type or cultivar it is but I'm hoping my caladiums would look like this soon:

I was wondering how to propagate them. They look beautiful when crowded together like this. Mr. Google says the tubers can be divided. Gotta look up how to properly care for them, heh.
