Caladium ‘White Queen’ — White and Pink Fancy Leaf Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘White Queen’ has broad white leaves with bright pink-red veins and a thin green edge. The light foliage adds strong color to shaded beds and containers.

The plant grows in an upright clump during warm weather. It works well in pots, borders, and mixed tropical plantings.

Light

Grow it in bright shade or gentle morning sun. Strong afternoon sun can scorch the pale leaves. For another white caladium, see Caladium ‘White Christmas’.

Water and Soil

Use loose soil that drains well but stays lightly moist. Water when the top starts to dry. Do not leave the roots in standing water. For more pink color, see Caladium ‘Pink Beauty’.

Warmth and Care

Caladiums grow best in warm soil and warm air. Feed lightly during active growth. In cold areas, lift and store dormant tubers before hard freezes.
