Mine hasn’t been too picky so far. I have an Aaron. It likes the grow light and the humidity… it is melting one leaf since repot but is growing in two. I just water when my stick comes out mostly clean.

New Caladium owner here as well. Curious, how are you maintaining the humidity? Do you have a humidifier or grouping plants together?

I’m starting to experience edge crisping on mine, so I have been using filtered water, misting every day (don’t know if that’s good advice though) and a humidifier 😅 this plant is trickier than I thought
