Caladium Humboldtii Plants are tropical plants that grow from an underground corm that dies down in winter and will resprout in spring. They can be grown as pot plants, as specimen plants, or as massed colors for shaded tropical or sub-tropical areas. In cooler areas, they can be grown in greenhouses, patios, or indoors.
Caladium Humboldtii plant grows best in medium light. It doesn’t enjoy bright direct sunlight as extreme sunlight scorches its leaves. Place this plant near an east or north-facing window where it can get mild morning sun but will be protected from strong afternoon sunlight. Furthermore, this plant needs a humid environment to thrive. It is essential to keep it in a place where it can get high humidity. Misting the plant with water regularly and keeping the pot in a water-filled pebble tray will help in maintaining the humidity. Also, do not keep the plant near heating vents as that can cause damage.
Caladium plant prefers acidic soil which has high moisture and is well-draining. Spreading a layer of mulch over the soil will help in retaining moisture for a longer time. Fertilize the plant once a month with a soluble liquid fertilizer during its growing season in the spring and summer. Dilute it well before feeding it to the plant as excessive fertilization can affect the colors of the leaves.
