🌿 Caladium ‘Miss Muffet’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Miss Muffet’ is a delightful dwarf variety loved for its lime to chartreuse leaves adorned with raspberry-pink freckles and deep magenta veins. Compact and colorful, it’s perfect for borders, small containers, fairy gardens, or indoor tabletops, bringing a splash of cheer wherever it grows.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light or filtered shade.

• Outdoors: best in partial to full shade.

• Tolerates some morning sun, but avoid strong midday rays to prevent scorching.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil evenly moist, especially during active growth.

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

• Do not allow soil to dry out completely or become waterlogged.

🌱 Soil

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

• Use a mix of peat moss or coco coir + perlite + compost.

• Ensure containers have drainage holes to prevent rot.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%).

• Mist leaves regularly indoors or use a humidity tray.

• Dry air may cause leaf tips to brown or slow growth.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal temperature range: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

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

• Store tubers indoors in cooler climates during winter.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

• Avoid overfertilizing, which can cause excessive foliage with reduced color.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Miss Muffet will go dormant in fall/winter.

• Let foliage yellow and die back naturally.

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

• Replant when warm weather returns.

🧚 Styling Tip:

Perfect for miniature gardens, border fronts, patio pots, or shaded balconies. Pairs beautifully with ferns, white caladiums, or pink begonias for a soft, fairy-tale feel.
