A member of the Araceae family and native to the warm, humid forests of South America, this vibrant cultivar offers an extraordinary splash of colour that instantly lifts any indoor or shaded outdoor space.
The heart-shaped leaves are paper-thin and translucent, yet incredibly vibrant a stunning blend of chartreuse, rose-pink, and lime-green that glows when light filters through them. Compact and full of personality, Lemon Blush is perfect for creating tropical displays in summer patios, conservatories, or as a lively indoor feature plant.
Soft, colourful, and easy to grow during the warmer months, this Caladium variety is a favourite for collectors and plant lovers who want to bring warmth and energy to their surroundings.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Indoors, place near a bright window filtered by sheer curtains. Outdoors, it prefers dappled or partial shade too much direct sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves, while too little light will dull their colour.
Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged during the growing season (spring and summer). Water when the top 23 cm feels dry. Avoid letting the tuber sit in soggy soil. In winter, the plant naturally goes dormant stop watering when the leaves die back.
Temperature: Prefers warmth, ideally 2030C. Caladiums dislike cold; bring indoors when temperatures drop below 15C.
Humidity: Enjoys high humidity (6080%). Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near other tropical plants to increase moisture levels.
Use a light, well-draining, peat-free mix a blend of compost, perlite, and coco coir works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent rot. When potting tubers in spring, plant them just below the surface with the eyes (growth points) facing up.
Feed every 46 weeks during the growing season with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser to support vibrant leaf colour and steady growth. Stop feeding when the plant begins to enter dormancy in autumn.
Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant tidy. Once the foliage dies back naturally in late autumn, allow the soil to dry completely and store the tuber in a cool, dry place until spring replanting.
A moderate grower, typically reaching 3050 cm tall and wide. During its active season, it produces a lush mound of brightly coloured, heart-shaped leaves that last for several months.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Crispy edges: Low humidity or too much direct sunlight.
Loss of colour: Insufficient light or lack of nutrients.
Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or aphids.
