🌿 Caladium ‘Fuzzy’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Fuzzy’ is a unique and eye-catching variety known for its soft, velvety-textured leaves with rosy pink centers, bright green margins, and often fuzzy-looking leaf surfaces. Its tactile foliage and gentle color palette make it a delightful choice for shaded gardens, decorative pots, or indoor plant displays.

☀️ Light

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

• Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves or fade the colors.

• Filtered light brings out the leaf texture and color best.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

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

• Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.

• Reduce watering when the plant goes dormant.

🌱 Soil

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

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

• Avoid heavy, compacted soil that retains too much water.

💦 Humidity

• Thrives in high humidity (60–80%).

• Mist gently or use a humidifier to maintain humidity, especially in dry rooms.

• Low humidity may cause leaf tips to brown or edges to curl.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Sensitive to cold—avoid exposure below 15°C (59°F).

• Not frost-tolerant; lift and store tubers in cooler climates.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

• Stop feeding when the plant enters dormancy.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Like most caladiums, Fuzzy will go dormant in fall/winter.

• Allow leaves to yellow and die back naturally.

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

• Replant when the weather warms or when new shoots appear.

✨ Styling Tip:

The soft, fuzzy appearance pairs well with smooth-leaved tropicals or plants in neutral pots for a gentle, textural contrast. A great addition to terrariums, shaded balconies, or interior jungle corners.
