Scientific Name Caladium maculatum (spotty keladi plant)
Common Name Elephant Ear, Heart of Jesus, Angel Wings, Lance Leaf Caladium
Origin Native to the Amazon Basin in South America Light Thrives in bright, indirect light. Pick a location that will allow some morning or evening sunlight in autumn and winter- but take care that it doesn't get too much direct light in summer! Overhead light will help the plant to grow evenly all the way round,so under a skylight is ideal. Water Take care not to over-water; water when the top third of the soil dries out.
Humidity This plant will thrive in higher humidity; introduce a humidity tray and hose or mist the foliage frequently to keep it happy and stop the tips of the leaves from browning. Soil Use a moisture-retentive soil to keep this thirsty plant happy but not too soggy. Repot every three years as your plant grows.
Food Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature Ideal temperature is above 18-30°C; make sure it does not get colder than 10°C in winter.
Pet-safe No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips Caladiums can die back in the autumn/winter if the temperatures drop enough. If this happens, please don't throw them away, keep the tubers dry and store them in the dark until spring, when they will regrow more beautiful than the previous year.
We have launched our first (hopefully monthly) ‘Letter from the Founder’ blog post. I talk about a string of bad luck, from water gushing from various ceilings in my life to a break-in, and also reflect on the incredible work we have done to win two awards earlier this year. I look ahead to what’s coming up in August, projects we are working on with our clients, and some thoughts about the rest of the year. And I give an insight into my brain, why I am who I am and why I’m so thankful for all the opportunities, passion and excitement that running Sprouts has given me as a founder and as a woman.
