In the fall, caladiums enter an obligatory dormancy period, shedding their leaves.

 In the fall (September-October), caladiums enter an obligatory dormancy period, shedding their leaves. Stop fertilizing, reduce watering until the foliage is completely dry, then peel the tubers and store them in a dry, dark place at a temperature of 15–20°C (59–68°F) until spring. Wilting leaves are a normal part of the plant's life cycle, not a disease.

 Preparation (early September): Gradually stop watering when the leaves begin to turn yellow.

 Pruning: Once the leaves are completely dry, cut them off, leaving the tuber.

 Storing tubers: The tubers can be left in a pot with dry soil or removed, cleaned of soil, and stored in dry sand, vermiculite, or wrapped in paper.
