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.
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.
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.

Caladiums are tropical plants belonging to the Araceae family, native to South and Central America. They're known for their large, heart-shaped leaves that display stunning patterns in white, pink, and red. These plants grow from underground tubers and go dormant during dry seasons. In India, they've naturalized well and are popular as indoor ornamental plants. Caladiums can grow up to 1-2 feet tall, with leaves that create a dramatic visual impact. Their vibrant foliage makes them stand out among other house plants, adding a tropical touch to any indoor space.
Caladium plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their beautiful leaves, so it's best to place them near east or north-facing windows where they receive gentle morning light. In offices or homes with limited natural light, they can still do well as long as they're not in complete darkness. These plants are perfect for brightening up living rooms, bedrooms, or office spaces. Avoid placing them in dark corners or areas with harsh, direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to fade or burn.
Caladiums prefer consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Water them when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, they may need watering every few days, while in winter or dormancy, reduce watering significantly. These plants enjoy higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can help. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. In India's humid climate, they generally thrive, but air conditioning can dry them out, so monitor soil moisture closely in such environments.
Important note: Caladium plants are toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause mouth irritation, swelling, and digestive discomfort if chewed or swallowed. If you have pets or small children at home, it's best to place Caladiums out of reach. Consider displaying them on high shelves or in hanging baskets to ensure safety while still enjoying their beauty. Always wash your hands after handling the plant.
