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

Description

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

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 ‘River Kwai Bridge’.

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 a white and pink mix, see Caladium ‘Koh Kret City’.

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’.
