Caladium ‘Red Flash’ is a truly stunning caladium. It hits you with vibrancy from the centre veining that has a magenta sheen-like texture, that almost seems to illuminate. The base colour is a deep green which highlights detailing. Detailing that consists of pastel pinks that look like they’ve been etched into the leaf’s surface. Magenta is featured again as bright flecks of pink are speckled throughout the leaves. This is another plant that can tolerate sun. However, it thrives in full-partial shade, making it another versatile choice
The caladium ‘Red Flash’ belongs to the Araceae family. The species has roots to the tropical rainforests of 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
