Caladium bicolor "Red Flash" 3.5" nursery pot
Caladium are beautiful tropical houseplants native to South and Central America prized for their colorful, often extravagant heart shaped foliage. They have voodoo lily-like flowers that are short lived and considered by many to be unremarkable and inconspicuous. They are mostly shade lovers, though some can tolerate partial sun. Caladium companion well with other tropical houseplants like bananas and begonias. They grow best when allowed to go dormant for a short period of time in the winter.
Caladium bicolor (Angel Wings, C. hortulanum) "Red Flash" is a fascinating cultivar with large to extra large sized deep green heart shaped leaves with bleeding crimson red veins with pink or white spots. This large variety can get up to three feet tall and can tolerate partial sun. It likes more light than most other varieties. Like other tropical plants Red Flash likes some humidity and tolerates high humidity well. These are winter hardy in USDA zones 9 and up.
This is a houseplant difficulty level 2; moderate difficulty, fairly easy to care for and forgiving of small to medium error.
