Hello my plant people! I’m relatively new to plants but I was gifted some caladium bulbs and on a whim decided to try my hand at growing them. I had no idea they grow so fast! Look at these babies!!! Any inside tips to ensuring these guys stay beautiful is appreciates

I give mine 12 hours of grow light, and try to not soil dry up! I did that had to cut her back to almost nothing but now I've had to stake her up she's so big!
