    Yayyy. She's a beauty! Does it have drainage holes at the bottom? Put her in a bright indirect light and water when the top few inches of soil is dry..

      Hey! She does have drainage holes at the bottom. I’m just trying to find her a good spot that’s sunny but not too sunny. The British weather isn’t exactly cooperating 😂 I’m wondering if I should get her a grow light.

    Growlights are always good to have especially in winter..

    They thrive with something to climb (since they’re usually found growing up the sides of trees). This color is beautiful! 😍

    She’s a beauty and will give you many years of beautiful leaves. You might even get a flower from her. I’ve grown several caladiums for myself and my son and I do want to caution you that in the winter all the leaves will die and it will need to go into a dark closet for the winter until spring comes around. Even with the grow light it ultimately has its lifecycle But if you can keep it alive year-round, please make sure to share your secret with me. Here’s a picture of one of mine that I grow from the tuberour corm.

    This is the flower that it should give you at some point.

    Oh, I forgot the recommendations because I was admiring your beautiful plant so much. Make sure that you give her plenty of water but not soggy if that makes sense. Grow light is always a plus and no direct light.
