Description
If you're looking for a plant that will add some eye-catching color to your garden, look no further than the 'Starlight Red' Caladium. This stunning hybrid produces beautiful, patterned foliage with deep green leaves decorated with a mass of light pink to white freckles, accentuated by a fuchsia veins that bleed out to form a stunning pink leaf centre.
Caladiums are easy to care for plants that prefer a warm position, sheltered from harsh weather. Use a well-draining potting soil, and water only when the top of soil feels dry. Fertilise throughout spring to encourage healthy foliage and vigorous root growth.
Note: Caladiums will go dormant over the cooler months of the year - they lose their foliage and look much like an empty pot until new growth appears in spring.
