I was so tickled with the excellent results I had with Mr. Garrett's suggestions about compost tea soak pre-planting, I was hoping that I could use the same corms next year. Can I lift and store them and re-plant them next season? If so, what is the best time to lift them? Can I store them in the same temperature (about 60 degrees Farenheit) as where I store bulbs? They were so pretty this year I would love to have similar colors next year...
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm glad they did well for this year but it's best to start over every year. Check that. Where are located?

Mr. Garrett - the caladiums I am talking about are located on the north-west corner of my house in near North Dallas (south of LBJ, in the middle of black gumbo clay dirt country) that receives a good 5-6 hours of sun daily during the growing season. That particular bed is one I have been working with for years to get it "organically grow-able" with repeated doses of compost - and lemon balm and caladiums are really the only bedding plants that I have been successful in growing there. The earthworms love that bed, so I figure I have done something right...
I don't mind buying new corms at all...knowing now that I can get the less expensive ones that will grow magically to huge, beautiful plants with a little love in the shape of compost tea...
Thanks!
