• Light: Caladium bicolor thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. It prefers filtered sunlight or dappled shade, making it ideal for growing indoors or in shaded outdoor areas. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring that the soil remains evenly moist. During the dormancy period in the fall and winter, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows down.
• Humidity: Caladium bicolor loves high humidity, typical of its tropical origins. Maintain humidity levels above 50%, ideally between 60-80%. Use a humidifier, mist the plant regularly, or place it on a tray of water and pebbles to increase humidity.
• Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below 60°F (16°C) and cold drafts.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix that retains moisture but also allows for good aeration. A mix of potting soil, peat moss, and perlite works well.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop feeding during the dormancy period in the fall and winter.

Additional Care Tips:

• Caladium bicolor is known for its vibrant, heart-shaped leaves, making it a popular choice for adding color to indoor and shaded outdoor spaces.
• The plant enters a dormancy period in the fall and winter, during which it may lose its leaves. This is normal; reduce watering and resume regular care in the spring when new growth begins.
