    I tried caladiums on one occasion.
    So cant say I know much about them, other than heat and humidity with some shade from the tropical sun is ideal.

    Cold winds are a no no.

    I don't think we have the warmth they need in Summer for outdoors, not sure whether you were thinking of in or out.
    I have only grown them in the past for pot sales as house plants starting the tubers off at 24/5c.
