🔖 Care Tips

In winter, the cold weather causes plant leaves to fall and enter dormancy. Maintaining a temperature above 20°C can prevent dormancy, but a brief dormancy is beneficial for bulb health. If leaves wilt, you can store the bulbs separately, but it's best to leave them in the pot. Caladium Bulb Storage: 1. Keep the temperature between 10-20°C. Below 10°C, they die; above 20°C, they sprout. 2. If the soil is too dry, do not water. Instead, mist the surface soil to keep it moist. 3. Store in a well-ventilated, dark place. Bulb Planting: When planting bulbs in April or May, place the rounded or pointed side up. Plant shallowly and cover with 1-2 cm of soil.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in the Amazon rainforest and prefers a warm and humid environment.

🪨 Soil Mix

Mix the soil well to ensure good drainage. Typically, mix 30-40% perlite with the rest being potting soil. However, this can vary slightly depending on the situation and environment.

🌡️ Environment

Plants thrive at temperatures between 20-25°C. Growth slows below 20°C, so be cautious. They prefer humid environments. If the air is dry, mist the plants or place a water dish nearby to increase humidity. Ensure good ventilation when humidity is high to prevent mold growth.

☀️ Light

Each plant has different sunlight preferences. Some plants develop prettier patterns with more sunlight, while others may have leaves that burn. Adjust the light according to the plant's needs. Strong sunlight can dry the soil quickly, so check the soil condition and water frequently.

💧 Water

From spring to summer, water the plant when the surface soil dries out. Starting in late autumn, as the weather gets colder and the plant enters dormancy, gradually reduce watering.

🌱 Propagate

Divide the bulbs during overwintering and plant them in the spring to propagate.

💊 Fertilize

Fertilize once or twice a month from spring to summer for more vigorous growth. It's better to use granular fertilizer in the soil rather than foliar spray. Avoid fertilizing immediately after repotting; wait 2-4 weeks before applying fertilizer.

😵 Toxicity

Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.
