Are the bulbs tired?

#Caladium This has been going strong until this week. Longer, probably, but I thought it was just in a regrowth phase. I got the bulbs at a master gardener sale last spring. I’ve just let it keep going. Should I have given the bulbs a rest this winter? I don’t think I’ve overwatered. Thanks for any advice!

I think letting the bulbs rest is a very good idea. It takes a lot of energy to keep growing and growing.

Hopefully they'll be ready for spring!!
@sarahsalith should I cut off the stems and put it in my fridge with other bulbs I didn’t get around to planting in the fall? 😬
@user22906359 I would leave it in the pot and care for it sparingly. You COULD pull it out and refrigerate it, or you could just put it outside. (:
@sarahsalith I always do things the hard way. Thank you!
