A caladium plant is comprised of a planted bulb, stalks and the most important, the heart shaped leaves.  The leaves themselves are the colorful part of the plant. Pink Cloud is a low-growing caladium with very strong color, a deep pink dissected by white veins and trimmed with a green border.

Caladiums should be planted in a partially shaded area, but most are capable of growing in full sun. Caladiums grown in full sun will require more water and will have a bit shorter life span due to the harsher growing conditions.

Water moderately when first planted. A soil that retains some moisture, but does not allow the bulbs to have wet feet is ideal. Caladiums will let you know when they need watering once they are up.

Fertilizer should be used sparingly. Too much could cause the leaves to be more green than white.

Caladiums are excellent choices to add color, texture, and form to shady areas, making them a standout in your garden or containers. These plants are ideal border plants, lovely in window boxes and stunning when planted in a random mix in beds. These plants are the perfect solution for brightening a shady porch or a covered deck. Can also be used to decorate your entryways and mailboxes.

All parts of the plant are poisonous. should not be ingested and may irritate sensitive skin.
