🌿 Caladium ‘White Star’ Care Tips

Caladium ‘White Star’ is a striking, elegant variety known for its large, creamy white leaves with bold green margins and rosy-pink to red central veins. This variety shines in shaded garden beds or decorative pots, adding a refined and tropical feel to indoor and outdoor plant displays.

☀️ Light

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

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can burn the white foliage or cause fading.

• Gentle morning light is acceptable, but filtered shade is best.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, but never soggy.

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

• Use room-temperature water and avoid overhead watering to keep leaves clean.

🌱 Soil

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

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

• Ensure proper drainage to prevent tuber rot.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%).

• Mist regularly or place near a humidifier indoors.

• Dry air may cause browning edges or reduced vibrancy.

🌡️ Temperature

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

• Very sensitive to cold—keep above 15°C (59°F).

• Not frost-tolerant; store tubers in cooler climates during winter.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring to early fall).

• Avoid overfeeding, especially with high nitrogen, as it can dull leaf coloration.

🌿 Dormancy Care

• Goes dormant in fall/winter.

• Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally.

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

• Replant once temperatures rise and tubers sprout.

⭐ Styling Tip:

Perfect for monochrome gardens, tropical-themed containers, or pairing with darker foliage for contrast. Looks stunning in white ceramic pots or against black or terracotta backdrops.
