    To care for caladiums, provide them with bright, indirect light, warm and humid conditions, and soil that is consistently moist but not soggy. Water regularly, especially in summer, by checking the top inch of soil for dryness. Maintain high humidity through misting or by using a humidifier. During fall and winter, let the soil dry and reduce watering to allow the plant to go dormant

    Since this is a tropical plant, it’s different from my ‘Red Nerve’ plants but my red nerve plants are tropical as well just different. Keep them out of direct heat which you do by placing yours by the window. Keep a misting effect going twice a day in the a.m and at night with some constant humidity. Also when was the last time you fertilized this plant? Gave it some tropical fertilizer food?

      Yes that’s a good all purpose meal for your plants. How often do you fertilize it though?.

    Aslong as your in direct sunlight is strong and your watering is based on allowing soil to dry completely before the next thirst feed you should be fine in 2wks.
