They LOVE humidity!

Do you have any recommendations for creating humidity? I can’t really do much because I share an apartment with another girl who prefers cold. Should I get humidity trays?

Humidifiers help, even a small one and the same room as the plant, they don’t change temp too much either! Frequent misting can help, pebble trays are great, and even hanging some damp laundry to dry can make a big difference.

She’s beautiful!

I’m so excited to have her!

I keep my caladium in a cup of water that just meets the drainage holes and I never let it dry out. I keep it in a cabinet so the humidity is fairly high as well
