My Caladiums were beautifully healthy when dug up last year, but rotted within a week when I was not home watching. I will hose them this time so that they will dry faster. I will dig them up maybe next weekend, depending on the weather forecast. At the moment, they are still looking beautiful.

Sally, the Callas are planted about 4" deep. They probably survive the winter in the ground in your area, but I just do not want to risk it in my garden. So I dig them up every year. They are very easy to store. I keep them in a box or a pot filled with peat moss. They stay in the garage over the winter.
