'Fiesta'

from £8.00
Pot Size:

Caladium ‘Fiesta’ is one of the most sought after of its kind. This tropical perennial is renowned for its striking foliage. Their primary colours are creamy white with pale hues of green and slimline margins. The focal point of this caladium has to be the blast of starburst vibrant pink veining. The main star of the show, and rightly so. This plant will thrive in a north-facing space. Direct harsh sun will scorch the leaves

The Caladium 'Fiesta’ belongs to the Araceae family. They originate from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. They thrive in warm and humid environments  

Seasonal Dormancy

It’s important to keep in mind that caladiums go into dormancy in colder climates. Its leaves will fade and die back. This is a completely natural part of its cycle-you haven’t killed the plant! Reduce watering significantly. When the foliage dries, stop watering. Store the tuber in a cool, dark, dry place and allow the plant to rest. Resume watering in the spring and wait for new growth to emerge

The same caladium can produce different colour pigments

    • Lighting: Thrives in full / partial shade / bright indirect light 

    • Watering: Water once top inch of soil is dry-prefers to be consistently moist (try to bottom water whenever possible to avoid those ghats!)     

    • Soil: Well-draining soil (I use a cacti / a desert mix for all my plants). They despise sitting in soggy soil, add perlite or vermiculite for aeration      

    • Environment: Native to the tropics, they require high humidity and warmth (ideally above 21°C)     

    • Toxicity: Caladiums are toxic when digested, keep away from pets and small children

    • Top Tip: Caladiums love humidity. Mist your plant 2 to 3 times per week. Group plants close together to create a natural humid microclimate

  • This caladium is grown locally in Manchester
