Like fiery red flashes, the leaf veins cover the bright green leaves of this Caladium from the center to the edges, making it a breathtaking eye-catcher in any plant collection. This eye-catching appearance, together with its ease of care, makes it a popular plant among beginners and experts alike. Like all caladiums, it goes through a dormant phase in winter, during which it sheds its foliage.

Ben's tips on plant care:

The bulb should be placed in a bright location (windowsill or under artificial light) about 3cm deep in potting soil and kept permanently moist (not wet!) and warm (above 20° C) for new sprouting.
- Habitat/Light Requirements: Partial shade, indirect sunlight
- Substrate: green plant soil mixed with two parts peat
- Temperature: optimal at 25° C (day), 21° C (night)
- Watering: keep moist and water as soon as the top layer of substrate begins to dry, but avoid waterlogging at all costs, ideally water with rainwater that is not too cold and has a low lime content
- Humidity: needs high humidity, avoid heating air, spray regularly
- Nutrient addition: in the growth phase approx. every 2-3 weeks with strongly diluted organic fertilizer. Fertilize moderately with highly diluted organic liquid fertilizer.
- Repot when the soil is densely rooted.
- Discards foliage in winter and must survive as a bulb. Then either hibernate with little soil in the dark or otherwise water sparingly only every 4 weeks.
