Caladium 'White Queen'

Meet this stunning Caladium 'White Queen' — 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.

White Queen is one of the true classics of the fancy-leaf caladium world — bred in Florida in the 1950s and adored ever since for its striking combination of bright red primary veins radiating from the centre, a fine green net-vein pattern etched across a crisp white background, and a neat green margin framing the whole leaf. It's a plant that looks almost painted, and each new leaf unfurls with its own subtle variations.

This plant is currently thriving in an inorganic substrate within a self-watering setup — a clean, low-maintenance system that keeps moisture levels just right and the tuber happy. It's well established and ready to settle into its new home.

Care tips:

• Light: Bright indirect light brings out the striking red and green contrast — a spot near a window with filtered light will keep the leaf colours vivid and the plant full.
• Water: With a self-watering pot, keep the reservoir topped up and let it drop nearly empty before refilling — the plant will draw moisture at its own pace, which caladiums love.
• Humidity: Caladiums adore humidity around 60% or higher, so a pebble tray, regular misting, or a nearby humidifier will keep this one very content.
• Temperature: Keep it warm and above 18°C year-round — this tropical beauty is not cold-hardy and dislikes cold drafts or air-con blowing directly on it.
• Substrate: The inorganic mix it's already in is ideal — excellent drainage and aeration that keeps the tuber healthy and rot-free.
