Poinsettias have long been cherished as a timeless Christmas tradition. However, in the world of gardening, variety is the spice of life, and we've got something truly exhilarating for you! Introducing Heart to Heart® Christmas Caladiums™, your ticket to starting a brand new holiday tradition that will leave you absolutely enchanted. Imagine lush, vibrant foliage in festive shades of red, white, and green, adorning your home during the holidays. These Christmas Caladiums are not just plants; they're an invitation to celebrate in style. A spirited and captivating alternative to the classic poinsettia, Christmas Caladiums will undoubtedly become your new holiday passion. Caladiums are adaptable as houseplants and can thrive in bright and warm indoor environments. Provide a well-lit space like a windowsill, atrium, or sunroom to provide bright but indirect light, avoiding direct sun that may scorch the leaves. Plant with well-drained soil but maintain moisture and avoid letting them dry out completely. Caladiums are tropical and appreciate high humidity as well, so humidifiers, frequent misting, or pebble trays are all good options. In colder climates Caladiums are a great choice for containers that will be moved inside during winter or for planting in-ground as an annual. In warmer climates caladiums may be used in-ground as a perennial. To allow for new growth place plants 10-14" apart when planting. Avoid letting them dry out completely and aim to provide consistently moist but not soggy soil. Both indoors and outdoors, caladiums will enter dormancy after several months of providing beautiful leaves. When leaves start to die back, stop watering. Allow the plant to rest and resume watering once you see new growth. Once the outdoor soil temperature stays above 60 degrees F your Caladiums can go back outside for another season if desired. Caladiums are known to be toxic if ingested, use with caution around pets and children.
