Chartreuse and Red Caladium in Self-Watering Pot

Meet this Chartreuse and Red Caladium — one of the more theatrical Caladium leaves I've had pass through the shop. 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.

Bright chartreuse-green leaves with deep burgundy veins radiating out from the centre like a fireworks display, plus scattered red freckles across the leaf surface for extra character. Caladiums originally come from South America, and they've earned their reputation as one of the more painterly foliage plants you can grow indoors.

This one is well-rooted in an inorganic substrate inside a self-watering pot — one leaf fully open and a small red new leaf already pushing up. Perfect for anyone who enjoys watching a plant grow into itself.

Care tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is where the red venation looks its best. Filtered morning sun is ideal; keep it away from harsh afternoon rays that will scorch the tender leaves.
• Water: The self-watering pot makes this easy — top up the 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 small 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.
