'Rosebud'

from £6.00
Pot Size:

Caladium ‘Rosebud’ is a sweet heart-shaped caladium. The primary colour of these plants is a deep green. The leaves have a painterly feel about them. They feature white fleck detailing that emits from the centre leaf. Soft pink veining trickles from the midriff and rustically fades away. These plants prefer partial to full shade but will tolerate rooms with brighter light and are a variety that is known to be low-maintenance

The Caladium 'Rosebud’ 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

    • Lighting: Thrives in full / partial shade   

    • 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
