Caladium
Spectacular Angel Wings
Brazil
Caladiums come from the tropical jungles of Brazil and the Amazon, where they grow along rivers and creeks. These plants, also called ‘angel wings’ because of their unique leaf shape, are a real eye-catcher! The leaves come in all sorts of colours and patterns: from green and white to pink, spots and speckles - the choice is endless! There are many different varieties, including even edible ones. The Caladium Bicolor is probably the best known and is for decorative use only. We grow 8 different cultivars of this beautiful plant, selected for their unique characteristics. Bring the tropics into your home or workplace with the Caladium!

Care tips
A light but shady location
This means it should be in daylight, but not in direct, bright sunlight. The Caladium will thrive in a spot that is light but also shaded, with temperatures of around 15 °C or above.
Keep moist, the potting soil must not dry out
It is important to water the plant sufficiently to enjoy this beautiful plant for as long as possible. Caladiums' potting soil should always be slightly moist, but the Caladium does not like wet feet. So avoid getting a layer of water at the bottom of the pot.
Goes into hibernation mode in winter
Caladiums are tuberous plants and therefore grow a little differently than we are used to from most houseplants, as they die off in winter. The plant can then go completely dormant. Do not cut off the leaves until they are completely dry! This is because energy from the leaves flows back to the tuber and ensures that you get a bigger and stronger plant in spring!
