Caladium 'florida Sunrise'

What is the plant

Their beautifully patterned, tropical leaves come in amazing combinations of red, pink, white and green, outstanding in a partial to full shade garden.Easy care as long as they receive adequate water, these shade plants can be used to advantage in many ways...naturalized under a tree canopy, as low growing plants for the front of the border, draping from hanging baskets, or accenting a mixed bed.They're very effective attention-grabbers when planted in "drifts" or groupings, but are also very charming peeking out here and there amidst ferns. And white caladium varieties can be seen at night

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water on a regular basis - these plants like a well-drained area but need regular moisture.
Pruning
No trimming is needed, though you can remove dying leaves and stems if you like. Usually new growth covers old foliage pretty quickly.
Fertilizer
Fertilize in spring with controlled-release fertilizer. Most benefit from liquid fertilizer applications throughout summer.
