Caladium ‘Yad Fun’ — Pink, White, and Green Caladium

Description

Caladium ‘Yad Fun’ has large, heart-shaped leaves with green edges, pale centers, and bright pink veins. The bold color works well in 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 ‘Silaphet’.

Water and Soil

Use rich soil that drains well. Keep the soil lightly moist while the plant is in active growth. Do not leave the tuber in wet soil. For bold pink color, see Caladium ‘Pad Manee’.

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 another strong red and pink mix, see Caladium ‘Manee Lomphet’.
