Caladium ‘Red’ – Plant Description

Caladium ‘Red’ is a striking cultivar of the tropical Caladium bicolour, grown for its bold, heart-shaped leaves in brilliant shades of crimson, scarlet, and ruby. Native to the rainforests of South America, caladiums belong to the Araceae family and are admired worldwide for their vivid ornamental foliage.

The foliage of Caladium ‘Red’ is thin, delicate, and paper-like, but its colouring is dramatic. Each leaf displays a rich red centre, often accentuated by darker veining and bordered with a thin green or bronze margin. The effect is vibrant and eye-catching, making it one of the most impactful caladium types for creating tropical displays indoors or outdoors.

Mature plants typically reach 40–60 cm in height and form a dense clump of foliage from tubers. With its bold, saturated colour, Caladium ‘Red’ is perfect as a statement plant for shaded patios, conservatories, or interior spaces.


Caladium ‘Red’ – Care Guide

Light

Indoors: Thrives in bright, indirect light.
Outdoors: Best in dappled or partial shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause colours to fade.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season (spring to early autumn). Water when the surface feels slightly dry, but avoid waterlogging. In dormancy (late autumn and winter), reduce watering significantly until new growth appears in spring.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Needs high humidity. Mist leaves regularly or place near a humidifier to maintain lush growth and prevent leaf edges from crisping.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, well-draining peat-free compost with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Plant tubers just beneath the surface in spring. Repot annually at the start of the growing season.

Feeding

Apply a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the active season. Stop feeding in autumn when the plant starts to go dormant.

Growth and Dormancy

  • Growth: Produces bold red, heart-shaped leaves in clumps during spring and summer.

  • Dormancy: Naturally dies back in autumn. Keep tubers almost dry in their pot, or lift and store in a cool, dry place until spring replanting.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove fading or damaged leaves as they decline, but allow healthy leaves to die back naturally so that nutrients return to the tuber.

Common Issues

  • Crisping edges: Often from low humidity.

  • Yellowing leaves: Linked to overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leaf scorch: From excessive direct sunlight.

  • Pests: May attract thrips, aphids, or spider mites; inspect regularly.

Background and Benefits

Caladium ‘Red’ represents one of the most dramatic colourways available in cultivated caladiums, offering deep, saturated foliage tones rarely seen in houseplants. Its tropical look and bold presence make it a centrepiece for shaded displays indoors and out.

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.

BEST PILLOWS EVER!!!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I am very picky with my pillows because I have a bad neck and I can never seem to find a good pillow. But I tried this pillow because it had everything I was looking for and the price was great! You get two of them and they are absolutely awesome.! normally I would need to lay on two pillows to try and get comfortable but with these pillows I just lay on one and I wake up with no neck pain. They really have a nice cooling effect. They actually puff up immediately after opening them. All you have to do is just shake them up and the pillow just puffs straight up.. It comes with extra cushioning if you want it to make it firmer and if you don’t want it as firm as it is, you can actually take some out. It really is such a beautiful pillow. It’s perfect in every way to me being such a picky pillow person. You just lay your head down on it and it forms around your neck and your head and when you get up, it goes right back to its normal form. It doesn’t get flat and I love it. I completely recommend this to anyone who is a person who has a hard time finding a really good pillow.

Top of the line, best pillows Ive ever had
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are top of the line! I bought them in 2024 and they are still fluffy. When they lose a little fluff, you just punch em around a little bit and voila, like new again. They have kept their shape cery well and do great for cooling. I haven't had to add more filling yet either. I just laid my head on one and thought, I need to do a review cause everytime i lay on these pillows its like clouds. My head is heavy and this is relief :-D

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.
