I have 3 Caladiums. Is it too late to put them in a rest period? Plus I don't have a place to keep them in 50 to 60 degrees, would that be a problem?

Hmmm, wonder if you could put them in the fridge. I used to do that with my glads.

If you have a crawl space underneath your house it may stay at the temperature your looking for. As far as I know they can be made to go dormant at any time of the year since they are an indoor plant outside of zone 9 and greater.
