Can I use "Caladium bicolor" as a marignal plant in my pond?
If not which species can be used as marginal plant from that family?

Elephant Ears & Caladiums
For foliage that can’t be beat place the corm of a large elephant ear plant in a shallow stream so that water continuously runs past it but it’s top is exposed to the air. Brightly colored Caladiums can be done the same way. You will need to make sure the corms are secured into place. Remove them before the first frost or you will lose the plant to winter

This is what I use in my garden pond
for the marginals
NOTE: I grow my parrot feather as a marginal I found by using the potted method as opposed to just floating it grows faster.
I also found that this soil is cleaner and easier to use.
