The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Caladium loves bright sunlight but not direct when indoors, and prefers h a bit of morning sun and shade for the rest of the day outdoors. Too much light will cause the vibrant colors to fade and the leaf edges to burn. During their growing season, these plants like rich well-draining soil and to be kept evenly moist but never soggy. A 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch helps hold in moisture and keep the roots cool. Dig the tuberous corms in the fall and store them in a frost-free location for the winter.
- Prefers Full Shade & Partial Shade
- Organically Rich Soil
- Well-Drained Moist Soil
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Clean Mounds As Foliage Yellows
- Lift Bulbs in Fall Before Frost
