care tips
Caladiums requires its care, but with a little discipline you can enjoy it for years. The caladium has special leaves, thin and large and sensitive. It likes warmth but can't stand direct sunlight, so place it in a bright spot but beware of direct sunlight. Avoid drafts or dry places, such as those too close to heating.
It doesn't hurt to give the plant small trickles of water regularly and, from time to time, spray its leaves with a plant sprayer. You can also fertilize your Caladium every 4 weeks in spring and summer to help it develop better. If you give it too much fertilizer, the leaves will start to fall off, don't panic, just give it a couple of times with clean water and it will continue to grow happily. As the heart of Jesus continually produces new leaves, the older leaves will also die. The old leaves can be cut off with a clean knife or scissors so that the energy can go to the new leaves.
Your Caladium is a seasonal product. In winter the plant goes into rest, this means that the plant will drop all its leaves and goes into hibernation. During this period you should also not water it. Keep the tuber in a dark place, above 13 degrees. From February onwards you can replant the tuber and give it small amounts of water.
