Caladium 'Sexy Pink' Ø8cm

Caladium 'Sexy Pink' brings large, heart-shaped leaves with a strawberry-pink centre and a deep green margin. The thin foliage turns translucent in the light, like a living watercolour. It is an elegant challenge that rewards the attentive grower with one of the most photogenic plants in the home. Care instructions The caladium grows quickly and vigorously in the warm season, then rests. The secret to a happy plant is constant warmth, high humidity and a substrate that stays evenly moist without waterlogging. Once you understand its rhythm of growth and rest, it becomes a predictable and rewarding partner. Light: bright indirect light; shield the thin leaves from direct midday sun, which can scorch them. Temperature: thrives between 18 and 27°C; keep it above 15°C and away from cold draughts. Water: keep the substrate evenly moist in the growing season; reduce watering gradually as the foliage retreats and keep the tuber nearly dry during dormancy. Humidity: high, ideally above 60%; group with other plants or use a humidifier. Substrate: rich, airy mix based on peat or coco fibre, with perlite for drainage. Feeding: balanced, diluted fertiliser every two to three weeks only during the growing season. Propagation: by dividing the tuber during dormancy, each piece keeping a bud.
