🌿 Caladium ‘Magma’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Magma’ is a bold, tropical foliage plant celebrated for its fiery, intense red or deep magenta leaves framed by dark green to near-black edges. With its dramatic color and striking leaf veins, it adds instant heat and flair to shaded gardens or interior plant collections.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light indoors.

• Outdoors: grows best in partial to full shade.

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

💧 Watering

• Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.

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

• Reduce watering once the plant enters dormancy.

🌱 Soil

• Use light, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.

• Ideal mix: peat moss + perlite + compost.

• Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (above 60%).

• Mist regularly or place near a humidifier, especially in dry indoor air.

• Crisping or browning leaf edges often signal dry air.

🌡️ Temperature

• Thrives in warmth: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Keep away from cold drafts or temps below 15°C (59°F).

• Not frost-hardy—treat as an annual or lift and store tubers in cool climates.

🍃 Fertilizer

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

• Stop feeding in fall when the plant starts to go dormant.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Like other caladiums, ‘Magma’ will likely go dormant in cooler seasons.

• Yellowing leaves are a sign—cut back, stop watering, and store the tubers in a dry, dark, and cool place until spring.

• Replant tubers when temperatures warm again.

🔥 Design Tip:

Pair with dark foliage plants (like Alocasia or Black Colocasia) or contrasting lime-green foliage to highlight its fiery leaf tones in garden beds or indoor arrangements.

Turn up the intensity with the bold beauty of Caladium ‘Magma’—where every leaf is a statement.
