🌿 Plant Care Tips

A cultivar of Caladium Bicolor, this variety's foliage has dark green, wide edging, white centres, and occasional pink blushing. Native to Central & South America.

Although large, Caladium leaves are papery thin and delicate so direct light will cause searing brown spots, scorching and/or bleaching.
Caladium grow from bulbs or tubers, meaning they will go dormant in winter and old foliage must be cut back at this time to make way for new, spring growth.
There are 1000+ cultivars of Caladium, but each one creates a strong, architectural effect and stands out for its bright, multi-coloured patterning.

Growth pattern: Compact herbaceous geophyte

Water: When the top 2-3cm of soil becomes dry.

Ideal Position: East facing

Light: Bright, indirect or filtered light.

Recommended Substrate: Jungle Mix

Humidity disclaimer: This plant will grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet. However, all tropical plants thrive with higher humidity levels. To achieve this we suggest grouping plants together, or putting them in a bathroom or kitchen which gets regular use.
