Caladium Red Belly
She’s a heat-shaped beauty with green edges and a deep red centre. Also known as ‘Angel Wings‘ or ‘Elephant Ear’ Caladiums will tolerate morning sun and is considered to be a part shade to shade plant. You can also pot her up inside your home, where they prefer bright light or a sunny window.
They are naturally an understory plant and grow well in dappled shade. The foliage grows on stems which shoot from the tuber.
Good thing to note: No she is not dying! Caladiums are perennial tubers and will go dormant in the Wintertime, and re-shoot in the growing season. Love her like we do during the Summer and let her sleep in the Winter.
Quick Facts:
-
What to use me for: Ideal Show-off indoor plant with that pop of colour red to your space.
- Where to place me: A humus rich moist and well-drained soil is required. All Caladiums are best grown in dappled shade, they can also be grown indoors. However deep shade may restrict colour development. A warm moist position is best. Caladiums are frost-sensitive and require regular application of liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
- Watering Conditions: Caladiums need to be watered on a regular basis, especially during dry conditions. In fact, watering them on a weekly basis is recommended.
