Caladium ‘Sette Meuang Kan’ — White, Pink, and Green Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘Sette Meuang Kan’ has heart-shaped leaves with bold color. The leaves show green edges, creamy white centers, and red to pink veins.

This warm-season plant brightens shaded beds, pots, and patios. It grows from a tuber and rests when cool weather arrives.

Light

Grow it in bright shade or filtered light. Strong hot sun can burn the leaves. For a pink-centered selection, see Caladium ‘Pad Manee’.

Water and Soil

Use rich soil with good drainage. Keep the soil moist while the plant is growing, but do not leave the tuber in wet soil. For another Thai selection, see Caladium ‘Manee Lomphet’.

Warmth and Dormancy

Plant after the soil warms. Protect the plant from frost. When the leaves fade in fall, reduce water and let the tuber rest.

Simple Care

Feed lightly during active growth. Remove damaged leaves as needed. Check for common pests. For another bright caladium, see Caladium ‘Silaphet’.
