Not sure if this is helpful, but there is the dwarf Caladium humboldtii that may be of interest. However, it may prefer a dormant period from time to time. Mine were never more than 6in (15cm) tall. I have always found it charming.

Yes, the dart frog hobbyists often keep Sinningia in their setups, which
are pretty much evenly moist throughout the year and don't vary much in

like this.
Can anybody think of additional lily-like plants that might fit the
bill? I have wondered about Sisyrinchium and if there might be any more
tropical species in the trade(?).
