Caladium White (Caladium bicolor 'White Queen')

About Caladium White (Caladium bicolor 'White Queen')

Caladium White is a tuberous tropical plant with near-white, green-veined heart-shaped leaves - a brighter, cooler-toned alternative to the pink and red Caladium varieties. It's a striking foliage accent for shaded indoor corners, though toxic if ingested.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch and fade the pale leaf colour.
• Soil: Well-draining soil rich in organic matter, slightly acidic.
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity; mist occasionally or group with other humidity-loving plants.

Placement

Best in a bright, shaded indoor spot away from direct sun and cold drafts - the pale leaf colour shows especially well against darker interiors.

Care

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the active growing season (spring-summer); reduce watering as the plant naturally goes dormant in cooler months.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
• Repotting: Repot the tuber yearly at the start of the growing season.
• Pruning: Remove yellowing or spent leaves at the base as they appear.

Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Toxic if ingested (contains calcium oxalate crystals) - causes mouth and throat irritation in pets and humans; keep away from children and pets.
