🌿 Caladium ‘Dawn to Dusk’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Dawn to Dusk’ is an elegant, softly colored variety admired for its delicate blush-pink centers fading to creamy white, framed by pale green veins or borders. Its gentle, pastel tones evoke a serene sunrise and sunset, making it ideal for romantic gardens, shaded pots, or bright indoor nooks.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light indoors or filtered shade outdoors.

• Can tolerate morning sun, but avoid strong afternoon rays that may fade or burn the foliage.

• Best color contrast develops in soft, dappled light.

💧 Watering

• Keep the soil consistently moist, never soggy.

• Water when the top 1–2 cm (½ inch) of soil feels dry.

• Reduce watering as the plant enters dormancy in cooler seasons.

🌱 Soil

• Loves light, airy, and well-draining soil.

• Use a blend of peat moss or coco coir + perlite + compost.

• Ensure containers have proper drainage to avoid root or tuber rot.

💦 Humidity

• Requires high humidity (60–80%) to thrive.

• Mist regularly or use a humidifier indoors.

• Dry air may cause leaf tips to brown or edges to crisp.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Very sensitive to cold—avoid temps below 15°C (59°F).

• Not frost-tolerant; bring indoors or store tubers during winter in colder climates.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks during the growing season (spring to late summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

• Stop fertilizing during dormancy.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Dawn to Dusk will go dormant in fall or winter.

• Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally.

• Store the tubers in a cool, dry, dark location until spring, then replant once temperatures warm.

🌅 Styling Tip:

Ideal for neutral-toned or pastel garden palettes, or use in contrast with deep green or burgundy foliage to highlight its soft glow. Lovely in white, blush, or terracotta pots.
