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 genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. Native to tropical regions of South and Central America, these plants have naturalized well in India's climate. Caladiums are prized for their large, heart-shaped leaves that come in vibrant colors like red, pink, and white, often with intricate patterns. They grow from tubers and go dormant during the dry season, re-emerging with fresh foliage when the weather turns humid. The Caladium Red variety is particularly popular for its bold, eye-catching foliage that adds a tropical touch to any space.

Light & Placement

Caladium plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so it's best to place them in a spot where they receive filtered light or morning sun. East or north-facing windows are ideal for indoor plants. Outdoors, they can be placed in shaded areas or under trees where they get dappled sunlight. In India, they do well on covered terraces or in gardens with partial shade. Proper placement ensures the leaves retain their vibrant color and don't fade or burn.

Watering & Humidity

Caladium plants prefer consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water them when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the water reaches the roots without waterlogging. These plants love humidity, making them perfect for India's monsoon season. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant on a pebble tray with water to increase humidity. During the dry season, they may go dormant, requiring less water. Reduce watering during this period and resume normal care when new growth appears.

Care steps

  1. Choose location. Place your Caladium in bright, indirect light away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
  2. Water properly. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
  3. Maintain humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a pebble tray to keep the humidity levels high, especially in dry weather.
  4. Fertilize occasionally. Feed your Caladium with a balanced fertilizer every 2 months during the growing season to keep it healthy.
  5. Dormant care. Reduce watering during the dry season when the plant goes dormant, and resume normal care when new growth appears.
  6. Propagate tubers. Divide the tubers during repotting to propagate new plants, ensuring each section has at least one eye.
