If you have the choice, always outdoors in bright shade. :-) Indoors, I think I'd opt for eastern or southern; northern might be too dark for it to do well.

But you might want to wait until early spring, no? They'll be going dormant soon.

Grace, yes I'm new to caladiums so i wasn't aware of their dormancy when i bought them. So is it worth it to plant them at all right now?

hi

You want to grow them as a houseplant?? They are winter dormant no matter what the temps .. I grow mine in pots but outdoors and they've already went dormantlol There are some types called "evergreen " though I find they still go dormant it extends the growing season at least a couple of months . You could just store them until spring to extend the growing season gary

Loqua, like Gary suggested, I'd wait till spring, too. Either it will sit there doing nothing or rot if you plant now. Come Feb or so, put it in a pot in our zone and it should come in nicely so long as you don't keep it too wet.

With a little morning light, they're really quite wondrous.
