# Hello I recently got two caladiums and it’s my first time with this…

_Posted by Emily Ann on 2025-07-22_

Hello I recently got two caladiums and it’s my first time with this type of plant. I have one of the bathroom since it says high humidity is needed and I have the other one on a plant stand with a humidifier. Since I know nothing about these, is this a good set up? Any tips and tricks? Anyone know how to propagate them?

I am new to these. Bought two a few months ago at Lowe’s in their outdoor plants area. But sounds like you are good. Propagation is thru tuber division I believe. And just an FYI, they go dormant in the fall.
