Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos

Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.

I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected

Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Caladium Plant

Caladium, also known as elephant ear, is a tropical plant prized for its stunning foliage. Native to South and Central America, it has naturalized well in India's tropical climate. The plant features large, heart-shaped leaves with vibrant green patterns that add a tropical touch to any space. Caladiums grow from tubers and go dormant during dry seasons, making them perfect for seasonal displays. They are popular in Indian homes for their ability to thrive in both summer and monsoon conditions, offering year-round beauty with minimal care.

Light & Placement

Caladium plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, causing them to lose their vibrant color. The ideal placement is near an east or north-facing window where they receive gentle morning light. In Indian homes, they do well in shaded balconies, indoor corners, or under filtered light. During hot summer months, ensure they are protected from harsh afternoon sun. These plants are perfect for brightening up dim spaces where other plants might struggle, making them versatile for various indoor settings.

Watering & Humidity

Caladium plants prefer consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water them when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring thorough watering each time. However, avoid overwatering as this can lead to tuber rot. In India's humid climate, they may require less frequent watering during monsoon seasons. These plants enjoy higher humidity levels, so misting them occasionally or placing them in naturally humid areas like kitchens or bathrooms can help maintain their lush appearance. During dormancy in dry seasons, reduce watering significantly.

Pet Safety & Toxicity

Caladium plants are toxic to pets if ingested. They contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation, drooling, vomiting, and difficulty in pets. If you have cats or dogs, it's best to place Caladiums in areas they cannot access. For pet-friendly alternatives, consider other non-toxic plants from gardengro's collection. Always wash your hands after handling the plant and keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.

Care steps

  1. Provide bright, indirect light. Place your Caladium near an east or north-facing window to avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves.
  2. Water when soil is dry. Check the top inch of soil and water thoroughly when dry, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  3. Maintain humidity. Mist occasionally or place in naturally humid areas to keep the leaves lush and vibrant.
  4. Fertilize every 2 months. Use vermicompost or balanced liquid fertilizer every two months during the growing season for optimal growth.
  5. Reduce watering in dormancy. During dry seasons, the plant may go dormant; reduce watering significantly until new growth appears.
  6. Propagate through tubers. Divide tubers during repotting to create new plants, ensuring each piece has at least one eye.
  7. Keep away from pets. Caladium is toxic to pets; place in an inaccessible area to prevent accidental ingestion.
