# Caladiums/“Angel Wings” are my favorite plants and I’ve purchased…

_Lagt ut av Cait2k3 den 2024-07-29_

Caladiums/“Angel Wings” are my favorite plants and I’ve purchased 4-6. They all average about 6-12”. I bought some bulbs online to try my hand at growing. My first attempt has been remarkable! The first 3 leaves seem to be like those of all my other plants. Then, over the last 7 or so days, this fourth leaf shot up 24 freaking inches! One time I caught it growing 2” in only 2 hours! I put a large Starbucks water bottle next to it for reference. I haven’t even fertilized it yet! Does anyone have any ideas why this stem is so super charged, like it’s on steroids?

What variegation?? Mine was a mixed bag so I don’t know, but recognized the first three leaves, not the third tho.

A white dwarf

I think you are doing everything right that’s why the plant is doing so well!

#### Cait2k3 svarte den 2024-07-29

But it’s a freak! A total outlier!

Yaaas! It’s so weird I have four normal (6-12” leaves) and now this one is at 26” and still growing daily! That is a standard large (10”) Starbucks is water bottle to the left.

Lindsay, will you keep posting your progress on this comment for me and I’ll do the same? I measured mine from soil to tip top of leaf, for reference.

(Must click on pic to see entire leaf!)

Leafs almost unfurled while the small leaf seems to be struggling
