Because they can tolerate partial to complete shadow, caladiums are a great option for adding brightness to low-light or shady situations where many other plants might not be able to survive. They can be used along shaded walks, beneath trees, or in the understory of a woodland garden to give color and texture.

Don'ts
The leaves' margins will begin to crisp up due to the very dry air.
