Got a spot in your shade garden for a new color twist for Caladiums? Try the Heart to Heart Lemon Blush Caladium either in your part to full shade garden/water garden or as a houseplant all year round. Unlike some annuals which can grow leggy indoors, caladiums make great houseplants with just a little TLC on your part. Caladiums are upright foliage plants that look great from spring to summer and into fall until night time temperatures fall below 50 degrees.
With a deep-red or fuchsia heart and a lemon-tinted chartreuse fringe, these oblong heart-shaped foliage plants will be at home in your outdoor landscape or in your home. Makes a nice understory planting to arrowleaf and other tall background plants. As a houseplant, Heart to Heart Lemon Blush Caladiums will give you the color you crave when most others plants have stopped blooming. Hardy in Zones 10a, 10b, 11a and 11b, these plants make great annuals in Zones 3-8 and may overwinter in Zone 9 if the ground is kept dry.
Heart to Heart Lemon Blush Caladium Care
Plant tubers with pointed end up, about 2 inches below surface if purchasing as tubers, and plant containerized plants about ½ inch deeper than they were in pot if planting outdoors or repotting to allow roots room to grow. Fertilize lightly, only about a quarter strength houseplant foliage fertilizer each week up to every other week as needed. Keep soil evenly moist not wet. Strong southern exposure with dry conditions are not conducive to leaf health.
Pruning may be required if the plant is allowed to dry out and leaves get dry, clip close to soil level for optimal appearance. Deadheading is not usually required, though, as this plant maintains a tidy appearance.
Heart to Heart Lemon Blush Caladium Spacing
Topping out at up to 20 inches tall and 14 inches wide, space plants 10 to 14 inches apart. Companion plants include coleus, and some shade loving perennials like love lies bleeding and lobelia. Leaves may be toxic if ingested so keep away from children or pets.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
