| Maintenance Notes |
Caladiums can be an irritant if ingested. The ASPCA has more information on which plants may be harmful.
Outdoors: Since Caladiums prefer heat and humidity and do not tolerate cold, soggy soils, for most gardeners who live in the north will have best results in containers where this sun or shade caladium can thrive, as the soil in pots or planters warms up faster and has better drainage so plants will not become soggy. Remember for best growth always keep the temperatures above 65 F to support healthy Heart to Heart Tickle Me Pink caladium growth. A ¼ - ½ strength fertilizing every week or every other week is fine throughout the seasonthroughout the season for this heat tolerant caladium. Too strong of a fertilizer can burn leaves, and since the leaves last all season you want to keep them looking fresh. Caladiums like to be moist at all times so avoid allowing them to dry out as it also causes leaves to yellow and drop, especially on a caladium houseplant grown indoors.
Where the Caladiums will do best depends a lot on your location within the US, since sunlight intensity varies depending on where you live. Here’s a quick reference to help guide you to help you succeed.
