Caladium Pink and Red in Self-Watering Pot

Meet this pink and red Caladium — one of the softer, more romantic reads in the Caladium world. What you see in the photos is exactly what you'll receive. This is a one-of-a-kind listing for the specific plant pictured, so you know precisely what's coming home to you.

A pale shell-pink leaf surface with a deep crimson centre bursting out into finer pink veins, and a thin green margin holding the whole thing together. The colour shifts through the day depending on the light — pinker in soft morning, deeper tones by afternoon. Caladiums originally come from South America, and the pink-and-red cultivars are some of the most sought-after in the family.

Well-rooted in an inorganic substrate inside a self-watering pot. One leaf up, a new spike already forming at the base.

Care tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light — pink Caladiums colour up beautifully with the right amount of light, but harsh afternoon sun will scorch the pale surface. Filtered morning sun is ideal.
• Water: Top up the self-watering reservoir before it runs dry and let the substrate wick moisture up to the roots. No guessing.
• Humidity: Prefers 60% and above. Group with other tropicals or run a humidifier nearby, especially in air-conditioned rooms — Caladiums are not fans of UAE AC.
• Temperature: Happiest between 21–29°C. Not cold-hardy — keep well away from AC vents and cold-shocked corners.
• Substrate: Inorganic substrate — clean, aerated, and root-friendly for semi-hydro growing.
