Caladium
Caladium, commonly known as Heart of Jesus or Angel Wings, is a striking and ornamental plant prized for its vibrant, colorful foliage. Native to the tropical regions of South America, Caladium features large, heart-shaped leaves that come in an array of stunning colors and patterns, including shades of red, pink, white, and green, often with contrasting veins. The plant typically grows to about 1 to 2 feet in height and spreads up to 2 feet wide, making it ideal for adding a splash of color to garden beds, containers, and shaded areas. Caladium thrives in well-draining, rich soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it perfect for low-light garden spots. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. With its vibrant and diverse foliage, Caladium brings a tropical and dramatic touch to any landscape. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer high-quality Caladium plants to brighten your space with their bold and beautiful leaves.
