Add an instant pop of leafy tropical style to your home, patio, or garden with caladiums, beautiful foliage plants known for their striking colors and patterns. Native to tropical forests in South and Central America and part of the arum family, caladiums come in a variety of colors and patterns, making them a versatile choice for spaces of part sun to shade. This grower's choice-style offering, fully rooted in a 1-gallon pot, draws from a deep mix of possibilities that include strap leaf caladiums and fancy leaf caladiums. Both exude vibrant character. Our fancy leaf caladiums boast large, heart-shaped leaves with bold red and green or flamingo pink and green. Strap leaf caladiums have narrower, arrow-shaped leaves with bold veins and striking hues, such as neon green, pink, and deep burgundy. You can use caladiums to add visual interest to your outdoor garden, either in pots or planted in the ground if you live in a frost-free area. Pair caladiums with other shade- and filtered sun-loving annuals and perennials in containers or garden beds, such as impatiens, fuchsias, hostas, begonias, coleus, and ferns. Both types of caladiums are easy to care for and thrive in warm, humid environments. They're perfect for adding color as houseplants to spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices. Place your caladiums in a bright, indirect light and water them regularly to keep the soil moist. They prefer rich, well-draining soil and are light feeders. Rarely flower.
