🌿 Caladium ‘Raspberry Splash’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘Raspberry Splash’ is a stunning and vibrant variety known for its splashes of bright raspberry pink across light green or white leaves, often highlighted with deep rose-red veins. With its energetic, speckled appearance, it adds playful color and tropical charm to shaded patios, containers, or indoor plant collections.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light or filtered shade.

• Outdoors: best in partial to full shade.

• Avoid strong, direct sunlight, which can fade colors or scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

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

• Avoid allowing soil to fully dry out during active growth.

• Reduce watering during dormancy in cooler months.

🌱 Soil

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

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

• Make sure containers have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

💦 Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%).

• Mist regularly or place near a humidifier indoors.

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

🌡️ Temperature

• Loves warmth: 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Keep away from temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

• Not frost-tolerant—store tubers indoors if overwintering in cooler climates.

🍃 Fertilizer

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

• Stop feeding once the plant begins to enter dormancy.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Raspberry Splash will go dormant in fall or winter.

• Let the leaves naturally yellow and die back.

• Remove and store the tubers in a dry, cool, dark location until spring.

• Replant when the weather warms and new shoots emerge.

🍓 Styling Tip:

Perfect for tropical-themed gardens, whimsical shade beds, or as a splash of color in neutral containers. Pairs beautifully with lime-green, silver, or deep green foliage for high contrast.
