Classic Caladiums Monument Caladium

This variety is specifically bred for shade to partial shade environments. It will perform best in areas that receive filtered light or morning sun, as direct, harsh afternoon sun can scorch the delicate white foliage.

Monument Caladiums are highly versatile and thrive in both containers and garden beds. If planting in containers, ensure you use a well-draining potting mix to prevent the bulbs from sitting in water.

Intermediate height typically means the plant will reach a medium stature, usually growing between 12 to 18 inches tall. This makes it a great choice for the middle layer of a garden border or as a focal point in a medium-sized container.

The white color is inherent to the variety, but consistent moisture is key to keeping the foliage vibrant. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as stress can cause the leaf edges to brown or the plant to lose its luster.

While the leaves have a delicate, frilly appearance, they are structurally sound for a Caladium. However, because they are foliage plants, it is best to place them in a spot protected from strong winds to prevent tearing.
