🌿 Caladium ‘Dragon Flame’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Dragon Flame’ is a bold and fiery variety, known for its vibrant red to orange central veins, contrasted by green or dark-edged leaves. With its intense color and dramatic flair, it’s perfect for adding energy and tropical heat to shaded garden beds, pots, or indoor foliage collections.

☀️ Light

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

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight—too much can burn or bleach the foliage.

• A few hours of morning sun is fine; avoid strong afternoon rays.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, but never soggy.

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

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

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining, organic-rich soil mix.

• Ideal mix: peat moss or coco coir + perlite + compost.

• Ensure good drainage—tubers are prone to rot in soggy conditions.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%).

• Mist regularly or place near a humidifier, especially in air-conditioned environments.

• Dry air may cause browning or curling at leaf edges.

🌡️ Temperature

• Thrives in 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Not cold-tolerant—avoid temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

• In cooler climates, bring indoors or lift and store tubers during fall/winter.

🍃 Fertilizer

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

• Stop feeding once growth slows and dormancy begins.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Dragon Flame will go dormant in cooler seasons.

• Let foliage naturally die back, stop watering, and store the tubers in a cool, dry, dark spot.

• Replant in spring when temperatures warm and new growth appears.

🔥 Styling Tip:

Pair with deep green, dark purple, or silver-toned foliage to make the fiery reds of Dragon Flame pop. Stunning in modern pots, patio groupings, or tropical-themed gardens.
