Caladium Mix 14cm

🌿 Caladium Mix Care Guide

A Caladium Mix is all about colour — an eye-catching blend of vibrant foliage in shades of pink, white, red, and green that instantly brightens any space. With their heart-shaped leaves and tropical charm, Caladiums are perfect for adding a splash of colour to your indoor jungle or shaded patio. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Can tolerate partial shade outdoors during warmer months
• Avoid harsh direct sun — delicate leaves can scorch easily
• Too little light may reduce leaf colour and slow growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil consistently lightly moist, but never soggy
• Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry
• Reduce watering if the plant begins to enter dormancy in autumn

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Extra humidity helps keep leaves lush and prevents crispy edges
• Keep away from radiators and cold draughts

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength
• Stop feeding once the plant begins to go dormant

🌱 Quick Tips

• Caladiums naturally become dormant during cooler months
• Store dormant tubers somewhere dry and frost-free if foliage dies back
• Warm temperatures encourage faster, fuller growth
• Perfect for adding seasonal colour indoors or on sheltered patios

💡 Big Plant Lad Wisdom

Caladiums are like living confetti. They'll spend the warmer months putting on a spectacular show, then quietly disappear for a nap before coming back even better next season. 🌿✨
