Hi alyrics - I'm in 5a, and plan to begin my caladiums in about a month indoors. Since they need at least a constant 60 - 65 degrees in the soil to break dormancy, I keep them in a warm room, but do not use the grow light on them after they sprout. Not sure if that's the best way, but they are usually 7 - 8" tall when I transplant them in early June. Here are a couple of pics of the combination of elephant ears, impatiens, hosta, and caladium that I have in a bed. - Dax
