Caladium Schomburgkii

Moderate maintenance

Caladium schomburgkii prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so it's best to provide filtered light. Indoors, place it near a bright window with curtains or a sheer shade.

Water
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant's growth slows down. Caladiums appreciate humidity, so misting the plant occasionally can be beneficial.
Soil
Soil Type: Use a well-draining soil mix. A mixture of potting soil with added perlite or sand works well. The soil should be rich in organic matter to retain moisture while providing adequate drainage.
Temperature and Humidity
Temperature: Caladium schomburgkii thrives in warm temperatures between 21-27°C (70-80°F). It should be kept in a warm environment and protected from temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
Humidity: High humidity is essential for Caladiums. Aim for humidity levels around 60-80%. Use a humidifier or place the pot on a tray of water with pebbles to increase humidity.
Fertilization
Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
Repotting
Repotting: Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with good drainage to ensure the plant remains within your desired size range.
Pruning
Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain a tidy appearance and promote healthy growth. Pruning also helps manage the plant's size and encourages more vigorous growth.
