Caladium 'White Delight' is an angelic variety which displays green and white leaves, with a red sinus where the stem meets the leaf. The dusting of white makes the texture of these leaves appear even more like tissue paper than others in its genus. A very whimsical plant!

Although Caladiums are native to Central and South America, this variety is a hybrid cultivar made originating from Florida. The 'White Delight' likes it warm and humid, and is best grown away from draughts and radiators where air can become cold and/or dry. Due to the thin leaves, we advise keeping your Caladiums out of direct light and instead give them bright, indirect light. Water when top soil is dry and keep consistently moist.

We don't recommend this plant to those with cold homes all year round, and it may become harder to care for if you are a forgetful waterer. However, if you able to keep it warm and well-watered, this is a brilliant whimsical addition to your houseplant collection, that is sure to bring a smile to your face!

 

These are likely to die back when temperatures drop below 20ºC consistently, but they can grow back each Spring if the bulb is taken care of during the Winter. 

How to care for Caladium 'White Delight'

  • Lighting: Bright, indirect light is best, avoiding direct sun. Near East or West facing windows works well.
  • Watering: Water once top soil is dry. Keep consistently moist.
  • Humidity: Thrives in humidity of 50% above.
  • Temperature: Ideal daily temperatures range between 20-26°C, with night temperatures dropping no lower than 15ºC. Likely to die back when temperatures naturally lower in Autumn / Winter.
  • Soil Preference: A loose and chunky mix, with moisture-retentive properties. We recommend the Monstera & Philodendron mix.
  • Good to Know: When grown in the UK, these plants act as Annuals, meaning they are likely to die back when temperatures drop. If you keep the bulb, you will be able to grow them back each Spring.
