Caladium ‘River Kwai Bridge’ — White, Pink, and Green Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘River Kwai Bridge’ has heart-shaped leaves with green edges, pale centers, and pink to red veins. The strong 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 a similar pale center, see Caladium ‘Koh Kret City’.

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 soft white and pink color, see Caladium ‘Sao Chiang Mai’.

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’.
