Caladium ‘Aaron’ — White Fancy Leaf Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘Aaron’ has broad white leaves framed by clean green margins. The bright foliage works well in shady beds, porch pots, and mixed containers.

This tropical plant grows from a tuber. It likes warm soil, soft light, and steady moisture during active growth.

Light

Grow it in bright shade or gentle morning sun. Strong afternoon sun can burn the pale leaves. For a leaf with stronger green veins, see Caladium ‘White Christmas’.

Water and Soil

Use loose soil that drains well. Keep the soil lightly moist while the plant is growing. Do not let the tuber sit in soggy soil. For white leaves with pink veins, see Caladium ‘White Queen’.

Warmth

Wait for warm weather before planting outdoors. Cold soil can slow growth and cause rot. Protect the plant from frost.

Seasonal Care

Feed lightly during active growth. As cool weather arrives, the leaves may fade and die back. In cold areas, lift and store the tuber or grow it as a warm-season annual. Browse more caladiums for other leaf colors and patterns.
