🌿 Caladium ‘Debutante’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Debutante’ lives up to its graceful name with creamy white leaves touched by soft pink blushes and faint green veins, giving it a delicate, almost translucent elegance. This variety brings light and softness to shady gardens, containers, or bright indoor spaces, making it perfect for adding a romantic, airy feel.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light indoors or partial to full shade outdoors.

• Direct sun can cause leaf scorch, especially on pale-colored leaves.

• Morning sun is tolerable, but protect from strong afternoon light.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, not soggy.

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

• Avoid waterlogged soil—drainage is key.

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining, light soil mix enriched with organic matter.

• Recommended blend: peat moss or coco coir + perlite + compost.

• Always use pots with drainage holes.

💦 Humidity

• Thrives in high humidity (60–80%).

• Mist regularly or use a humidifier if indoors.

• Dry air can lead to browning leaf edges or crisping.

🌡️ Temperature

• Loves warm weather: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Not frost-tolerant—avoid exposure below 15°C (59°F).

• Store tubers if winter temperatures drop in your area.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

• Too much fertilizer can dull the subtle colors—err on the side of less.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Goes dormant in fall/winter.

• Let leaves die back naturally, then stop watering.

• Store tubers in a cool, dry, and dark place until spring.

• Replant when warm temperatures return.

🌸 Styling Tip:

Perfect for elegant pastel palettes, wedding-themed arrangements, or softening bold plant groupings. Looks lovely in white or blush-colored pots and pairs well with ferns, white caladiums, or trailing ivy.
