🌿 Caladium ‘Fannie Munson’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Fannie Munson’ is a classic heirloom variety treasured for its large heart-shaped leaves in vibrant pink tones, dramatically highlighted by green margins and vivid red veins. This showy, vintage cultivar brings timeless charm to shaded gardens, porches, and indoor arrangements.

☀️ Light

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

• Can tolerate gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh direct sunlight which may fade or scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist during active growth.

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

• Never let soil stay soggy or completely dry out—both can damage tubers.

🌱 Soil

• Needs well-draining, organic-rich soil.

• Use a mix of peat moss or coco coir + perlite + compost for proper aeration and drainage.

• Make sure pots have adequate drainage holes.

💦 Humidity

• Thrives in high humidity (60–80%).

• Indoors, mist leaves regularly or place near a humidifier.

• Dry air may cause leaf edges to brown or curl.

🌡️ Temperature

• Grows best in warm climates: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Not frost-hardy—avoid temps below 15°C (59°F).

• Lift and store tubers in cool climates before winter.

🍃 Fertilizer

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

• Stop feeding once the plant enters dormancy.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Fannie Munson goes dormant in fall/winter.

• Let the leaves naturally die back.

• Dig up and store tubers in a cool, dry, and dark spot until spring.

• Replant once temperatures are consistently warm.

🎀 Styling Tip:

Perfect for adding a romantic, vintage flair to shady beds, veranda pots, or floral-themed displays. Try pairing with white caladiums, trailing ivy, or ferns for a soft, textured look.
