American Meadows White Queen Caladium

Yes, they make excellent houseplants. Place them in a spot with bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist to mimic their native tropical environment.

Since Caladiums are tropical, they cannot survive frost. In cooler climates, dig up the tubers in the fall after the foliage dies back, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dry place indoors until you replant them in the spring.

No, these are considered deer resistant. While no plant is completely deer-proof, this variety is generally not a preferred snack for local wildlife.

They thrive in partial sun to full shade. They are specifically bred to brighten up darker, shaded areas of the garden where other flowering plants might struggle.

Plant the tubers about 1 to 2 inches deep. Ensure the soil is well-drained and loamy, as Caladiums prefer consistent moisture without sitting in standing water.

Wait until the soil has warmed up in the spring or early summer. Caladiums are heat-lovers and will not sprout or grow well if planted while the soil is still cold.
