'White Queen'

from £8.00
sold out
Pot Size:

Caladium ‘White Queen' is admired for its eye-catching foliage. Leaves are white and crisp and outlined with deep green margins. These are accented with distinct ruby red veins that bleed from the central points of the leaf. Newly emerged leaves may appear a heavy pink, that will eventually lighten to a bright white. Once matured these heart-shaped leaves can develop a semi-translucent effect. ‘White Queen’ is perfect if you want to add something bold and tropical to your home. They prefer full / partial shade. But also do well in bright / indirect light

The Caladium 'White Queen’ belongs to the Araceae family. It was developed around 1937. This 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

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 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
