Caladium bicolor 'White Wing' x Cal. palaciosii

A hybrid of Cal. bicolor 'White Wing' × Cal. palaciosii, two ornamental Caladium species from the tropical lowlands of South America. It produces large, sagittate leaves with a boldly undulating margin, prominent palmate venation, and a striking variegated pattern across the broad lamina.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which bleaches and scorches the delicate leaf tissue.
• Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); an intermediate-warm grower that requires consistently warm conditions and protection from cold drafts.
• Humidity: 60–80%; high humidity supports full leaf expansion and maintains the integrity of the variegated patterning.
• Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist during active growth; reduce watering during dormancy and never allow the tuber to sit in standing water.
• Growth Habit: A tuberous, seasonally deciduous hybrid with an upright, clumping habit. It inherits the broad, wing-like leaf architecture of Cal. bicolor 'White Wing' and the vigorous, heat-tolerant constitution of Cal. palaciosii, resulting in a bold foliage plant well-suited to warm, humid environments.

Additional Notes

Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Plant promptly in a well-draining mix of fine bark, perlite, and coco coir. Water generously after potting to rehydrate the tuber and encourage rapid establishment. Shipped bare root, well-established.
