Care

General Maintenance: Remove any yellow leaves that occur. Repot when rootbound.

Temperature: Keep caladiums in moderate temperatures of 18°C - 25°C.

Light: Foliage is prone to sunburn, so keep these plants away from direct sunlight. Bright indirect light about 6 feet away from a South facing window will promote this plant to thrive.

Watering: Water moderately when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Water less in the winter. This plant loves humidity. Extra humidity can be provided via a pebble tray or light misting.

Fertilizer: Fertilize with a balanced, diluted fertilizer once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (April through August).

Soil: Any well-draining, but organic soil will work. Look for one that is peat-based but has perlite added for drainage.
