Unless your winter temps get much below freezing, you can leave caladium bulbs in the ground. They can tolerate down to -6 C (20 F) with a heavy mulch. When you do store them, it helps to cure them first and spray with a fungicide. Then they should be kept in sawdust or sand to prevent them from drying out completely.

I imagine yours dried out too much. Here are the winter care instructions:
