Plant Features

Florida Blizzard Caladium Plants will have you saying hello to a welcome infusion of white! The enormous angel-wing shaped leaves are an intricate pattern of white and green, which will brighten up your shady spots. These annuals love warm and humid environments. Take care with direct sun, as it can scorch the leaves. Perfect for shade gardens or containers!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in late spring or early summer after the last frost date when the soil has warmed

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.5

Watering Specifics:

  • - Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent tuber rot
  • - For container-grown Caladiums, water more frequently as containers dry out faster

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time
  • - Supplement with a water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season
  • - Reduce feeding in late summer as the plant prepares for dormancy

Pruning and Training:

  • - No major pruning is necessary, but trimming spent foliage can encourage new growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Generally pest-resistant

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Primarily grown for its colorful, heart-shaped leaves rather than its flowers

Light Requirements:

  • - Thrives in partial shade to full shade
  • - Prefers morning sun with afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates
  • - Can tolerate full shade, but leaf color may be less vibrant in low light

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Can tolerate high humidity, making it ideal for tropical gardens
  • - Not frost-hardy; dig up tubers and store indoors in colder climates or treat as an annual

Companion Plants for Caladium:

  • - Hostas: The lush, shade-loving foliage of Hostas provides a beautiful contrast with Caladium
  • - Coleus: Their vibrant, textured foliage pairs well with the colorful leaves of Caladium
  • - Impatiens: The bright, shade-tolerant blooms of Impatiens complement Caladium’s striking foliage
  • - Begonias: The colorful flowers and foliage of Begonias blend beautifully with Caladium in shaded gardens

Came back again this year

I planted several Caladiums last year at the end of the summer. This one came back again this year. Looks great.
