Caladium ‘Luang Pu Plain’ — White, Pink, and Green Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘Luang Pu Plain’ has heart-shaped leaves with green edges, white to silver centers, and pink-red veins. The bright pattern adds color to shaded beds and pots.

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 another pale leaf form, see Caladium ‘Luang Pu Tim’.

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 another white and pink pattern, see Caladium ‘River Kwai Bridge’.

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 stronger pink color, see Caladium ‘Pad Manee’.
