Caladium ‘Saturday’ — Pink and Green Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘Saturday’ has heart-shaped leaves with bright pink centers, green edges, and pale veins. The bold color works well in shaded beds, pots, and mixed plantings.

This warm-season plant grows from a tuber. It likes warm soil, soft light, and steady moisture while it is growing.

Light

Grow it in bright shade or filtered light. Strong midday sun can burn the leaves. For a white and pink look, see Caladium ‘Yad Fun’.

Water and Soil

Use rich soil that drains well. Keep the soil lightly moist during active growth. Do not leave the tuber in wet soil. For deep pink foliage, see Caladium ‘Pad Manee’.

Warm-Season Care

Plant after the soil is warm. Feed lightly as needed. Remove old leaves when they fade. In cold areas, lift and store the tuber after the leaves die back. For more red and pink color, see Caladium ‘Manee Lomphet’.
