Caladium (Xanthosoma) lindenii

From: Piabinha at aol.com on 2000.07.12 at 04:24:42(5063)
my previous plant, a small one in a 5" pot, croaked easily and then never
came back, although i expected it to have a tuber... just this weekend, i
bought a large plant (in a 12" pot) for only $9.95 from a vendor at jerry
barad's picnic. i'm keeping my fingers crossed...
incidentally, why do cultivated Caladium tubers shrink from year to year?
how do they increase in size in the wild then?
