Caladium
Meet this stunning Caladium — 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.
Caladiums are among the most theatrical foliage plants around — and this one is no exception. Its broad, heart-shaped leaves are ablaze with vivid red, edged and veined in fresh lime green, creating a contrast that's impossible to look away from. Each leaf is a little work of art, and the colours deepen and develop beautifully as the plant matures.
This plant is currently thriving in a self-watering pot with PON substrate — a clean, mineral-based growing medium that keeps roots healthy, well-aerated, and free from the risk of overwatering. It's established and ready to bring some serious colour to its new home.
Care tips:
- Light: Bright indirect light will keep those vivid colours at their most intense — avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch the delicate leaves, but don't go too dark or the colour will fade.
- Water: With PON in a self-watering setup, keep the reservoir topped up and let it drop nearly empty before refilling — the plant will draw moisture steadily and happily at its own pace.
- Humidity: This tropical beauty loves humidity, so a pebble tray, humidifier, or a spot in a bright bathroom will make it very content.
- Temperature: Keep it warm and above 18°C at all times — Caladiums are sensitive to cold and will go dormant or suffer if chilled.
- Substrate: PON suits it beautifully; if ever repotting, choose a well-draining mineral or aroid mix that holds a little moisture without staying soggy.
